Restaurants and relationships in ‘Valley of Dreams’ is a free online short story about a business adviser, the battle of ‘living the dream’ in the hard world of commerce and the feelings of a husband of jealousy about his wife’s affair. Located in a beautiful West Country valley in the UK, it seemed like life would be bliss … until the customers don’t come. A small business adviser is hired and soon becomes too friendly with the cafe restaurant owner’s wife.
I hope you enjoy this free online short story and will take a look at my other free online short stories and novels / novellas.

‘Smart Touch of Spice‘ is a story about spicing up a relationship.
Alice is a very prim and proper woman who likes nothing better for everything to be in it’s proper place and when her husband accuses her of not being as adventurous in her relationship as his secretary, she sets about refuting his claim in her usual methodical manner.
Then events turn nasty later in the day but she is doubly prepared.
Alice is a great character who always seems to have something in reserve to surprise the reader and this short crime story by Rob Hopcott does not disappoint.

Welcome to my relationships weblog 
Most of my free online short stories, novels and novellas are about relationships in some form and so I thought it would be fun to have a blog that discussed and commented on these relationships.
For people who are not authors, this might seem strange but authors couldn’t be authors unless their characters were almost real to them.
So, if you are interested in my stories and are interested in character relationships, please use the excellent RSS system to keep track of when I do updates to this site.
I look forward to seeing you.
Bye for now
Rob
