The coronavirus lockdown of 2020 heralded an extraordinary and worrying time for countless millions around the globe, and the UK was no exception. In these stories, written as the pandemic swept around the world, Martin Hesp attempts to paint a picture of rural life during the spring and early summer of that remarkable year. The six tales follow ordinary individuals as they attempt to cope with the sudden lockdown and the isolation in the English countryside. For the most part they manage to avoid contracting Covid-19, because the tales do not focus on the medical horrors of the virus but instead concentrate on the extraordinary and unique world we suddenly all found ourselves living in. Love, passion, anger, misrepresentation, misunderstanding, confusion, angst, jealousy - all these emotions and countless others can be both magnified and evaporated during a time when people find themselves very much on their own. The characters include a well known television reporter is ends up living in a yurt, a lonely forester who sets out to walk nearly 100 miles to visit his mother, a married woman who suddenly discovers her illicit affair must be put on hold, a travel writer confined to barracks, a woman who takes to megaphone diplomacy in her quiet country village and a famous concert pianist who falls out with her community.People fall in and out of love, make mistakes, fall victim to inaccurate assumptions... All of small town rural life is here, but under the stress caused by extraordinary circumstances.

What do you do to survive a Pandemic Lockdown?! The General's Log is a light-hearted, comical account of life in unexpected isolation with young children. The General is confined to the house with her husband, the Lieutenant General. Along with their two young children; Private First-Class A and Corporal R. To keep themselves amused during the lock down, the Troops engage a variety of exercises designed to enhance skills and pass time the quickest way possible. They set tasks and exercises to keep themselves at the top of their game and to assure themselves of becoming the best military family in the country during lockdown. The General's Log outlines Lockdown training in: - - fort building with couch cushions. - sentry duty in the garage - artillery training in the form of farts - stealing contraband from the pantry - misfiring in the latrine leaving surprise puddles - and many trips to the infirmary due to excess accidents in the field. Entries get more ridiculous and hilarious as isolation time increases. "An enjoyable account of fun and frivolity during a very stressful and confusing time for young families...well done on this excellent tale of misadventures..." Gillian, Indiebook reviewer

“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade” is what the author Juhi Jaisinghani believes in. When everybody is talking about the uncertainties happening during the lockdown 2020, she tries to show you another side of it. A software engineer losing his job with no clue about his passion, a couple trying to revamp their almost broken marriage, a police officer on the verge of forgetting his old dream, a girl cheated on by the love of her life still looking out for love, a couple about to get married with everything planned, an orphan guy desiring solace, a girl waiting for her childhood sweetheart, a high-profile journalist considering love for granted, an airhostess in hope of the biggest opportunity of her life, a struggling actor almost always making the wrong choices and regretting about it—life indeed gave them lemons they would be able to make lemonade of, or they would give up against time.

IT IS THE DREADFUL SUMMER OF THE 2020 PANDEMIC, AND INDIA IS IN LOCKDOWN. A British climber stranded in the Himalayan border town of Munsiyari forms a bond with his host's seven-year-old grandson. Two funeral workers at a Benaras ghat try to work their way out of the dwindling business of cremations. A domestic worker, sent on paid leave, grapples with the shifting landscape for people on the margins of an urban metropolis. Hundreds of returning migrant workers turn up unannounced at the gates of an erstwhile Rajbari in Kolkata in the wake of a devastating cyclone. In Essential Items, Udayan Mukherjee examines oft overlooked human attributes – resilience, faith, endurance – put to test by a pandemic-forced lockdown. Written in stark, minimalist prose, these poignant but darkly funny stories expose deep cracks in our societal structures, papered over by the myth of growing prosperity.

As the world is shaken by a virus, Shobhaa De – a writer who understands the human heart and how it beats – felt the need to document not just what she is going through personally but what the entire world is experiencing. And out of this need emerged many unique narratives ... Lockdown Liaisons is a collection of short stories, from the varying perspectives of both men and women – young and old, brave and cowardly, cheerful and weighed down – each story an unique offering from a writer who understands how very fragile human relationships can be as they break, suffer and are redefined under trying circumstances. Explore, read and understand the subterranean world of shifting emotions during Covid-19, through stories that will speak to you. There is a woman with a young child who discovers that she doesn’t love her husband after all, there is a migrant worker who has to make a tough choice as he gets ready to walk hundreds of uncertain kilometres homewards. And many more. But what binds these stories together is love. These are stories that show how Covid-19 is affecting the hearts of hundreds of people as they struggle to make sense of altered circumstances, of the ‘new normal’ that will emerge in a post-Covid world.

Seven women and three men leave the city to avoid the pandemic. They isolate together in the country, where they pass the time working, flirting, eating, drinking, making music, and, above all, telling stories. For some, the lockdown was a time of bitterness and conspiracy theories, and it was hard for almost everyone. But it was also a time when most people did what they could to look out for each other. The Lockdown Tales: Emergence follows the second, more stressful year of lockdown, but again tells stories that are moving, bawdy, funny or satirical, and always compassionate. Praise for The Lockdown Tales "A witty, crisp, and lively imagination let loose: the defiant challenge to a lockdown . . . The best book of stories I've read since Lucia Berlin's A Manual for Cleaning Women, and before that probably David Malouf 's The Complete Stories." - Adrian Colman, Professor Emeritus of English, University of Tasmania "Alan Whelan brings us a clever, sensual and sometimes poignant collection of stories that would make Boccaccio proud." - Tangea Tansley, author of A Question of Belonging "An old frame for a sharp new snapshot of contemporary Australia." - Leigh Swinbourne, author of Shadow in the Forest

The year 2020 was a year like no other. Right from the beginning up to the end it was full of fear and a lot of unknowns. It will be years before people forget the challenges they went through during this year. Under the COVID-19 Storms is a record of the challenges that were brought about by the 2019 Novel Corona Virus told from the point of view of a child, and it is written in a way that is meant to entertain the reader and serve as a record of what transpired during this year. The book explores the negative outcomes of isolation for children and how online schooling had both positive as well as negative results for children. It is the writer’s hope that children will have this book as a go to read at a time when they wish to look back on this year of horrors. This may be in a few years to come or at the time they get to tell their own children or grandchildren about the year 2020. It is a must have COVID-19 record read for children and adults alike!
