My Life and Other Stories
by Merryn Glover

What happens when someone falls in love with a version of you that is all made up?
When Kevin joins Jilly's writing course by mistake, he tangles them both in a mess of tall tales and twisting fortunes. Literary licence and love collide in this romantic comedy.

Instead of attending the first class of a new Book-keeping course, Kevin gets his dates muddled and finds himself in "Life Writing". The lovely tutor, Jilly, is thrilled by his last-minute addition because without him there wouldn't be enough participants. He is so captivated by her and so loathe to disappoint the others - Gus, Diane, Marta and Faye - that he stays. Desperate to impress Jilly and to hide the 'boring' reality of his life he invents a more bohemian upbringing as makes his contribution to the class. But he's not the only one who is not quite telling the truth!
Starring John Kielty as Kevin and Shonagh Price as Jilly.
