North Ascot writer’s book raises funds for children in Ukraine

Can you spot the twist before the twist gets you? That’s the challenge being laid down by Peter Frost and all for a good cause.

Peter who lives in Blackmoor Wood has sponsored an African child for more than 20 years through the charity World Vision.

When the Ukraine war broke out he was contacted by World Vision asking for donations for Ukraine children, which he did but he also had the idea of publishing a book of stories to help contribute further.

Peter says: “The book of stories, Uncle Chris’s Collection of Crafty Short Stories, came about because I was an Innovation Manager at a company where my role was to come up with neat ideas. I’ve used this thinking to think of clever story twists and have created stories around them.

“The stories are all cosy mysteries and are all very different to each other. The aim is for the reader to have a quick read story (10 minutes) where the story has a twist at the end and the reader has to ‘spot the twist before the twist gets you!”

“My thinking was that instead of donating money, people might donate more if they had something for it, so by buying a book we might get more donations.”

He has told World Vision about the book and that it is mentioned in the back of it, and the aim to raise £500 (more if the book does well!) and they are now looking forward to the further support.
