The Grumps

Here is a book of family stories that just had to happen. Home truths are interwoven with embellishments and porky pies (courtesy of Grumps), which still don’t get past a little girl called Amber. She is always one step ahead of Grumps, and on an even keel with her grandmother. Then there’s the family dog, who knows how to get a message across and will happily rat on Grumps for a Meaty Bite. So much for man’s best friend.

Stephen Ryan has been writing humorous tales for nearly ten years. The Grumps stories somehow sneaked in under the radar. So, with the help of the Writers in Townsville Society (WITS) group, all the characters from Grumps’ world emerged. They truly came to life when Stephen roped in people and events from his own family history, including a little niece by the name of Amber, who loved being included in these stories.
