Scattered Fragments by P J Cresswell

  • A mystical history lesson awaits a Canadian businessman while hiking a New Zealand rainforest.
  • In Tasmania, a down-on-his-luck slacker receives a mysterious phone call that may change his life.
  • Brief encounters on a sun-baked Saskatchewan highway don’t always lead to romance.
  • An out-of-this-world object drops in on a Montana Halloween party.

Scattered Fragments is a compilation of twenty stories written by the author over a period of fifteen years. The diverse stories travel from Canada to New Zealand to Britain to Fiji and beyond, covering a period of time from the 1960s to the present day.


P J Cresswell lives with his partner in Victoria, British Columbia. This is his first book. For five years, P J wrote a weekly film review column for a New Zealand newspaper.
