Welcome to the pub and diner that is The Brass Bell! Situated in the picturesque Kalk bay, you are invited to meet the individual fictional characters whose distinct individual personalities form the backbone of this compilation of short stories. Through weaving commonplace events such as hiking, cycling and fishing with the unique and commonplace lives of these characters, a rich tapestry of triumphs and tragedies, intrigue and suspense is created around the place to which they all gravitate.

For some whose secrets run deep, exposure as to who they really are, or have been and done in the past, comes as unexpectedly as to whom they invariably turn in their hour of need.
