COMMENTS
The short story "The cocktail" (2/2010) was entertaining and interesting, especially the vocabulary was instructive (making a killing :-).
The author James Schofield has done a great job.
Thank you for the positive feedback.
James will be writing a short story for every issue of Business Spotlight. Did you know that you can listen to a recording of the story on Business Spotlight Audio?
Kind regards
Deborah CaprasThank you!
I had fun writing "The cocktail", and even more fun testing the cocktails described. That last one though ... still haven't worked out the secret ingredient.
Hope you enjoy subsequent stories just as much!
James
