about the author
After a long career as a University lecturer and Business Communications Consultant, Mary has at last begun to write as she always promised herself she would. At present she is concentrating on poetry, short stories and flash fiction, and likes to follow the oral tradition of reading her work aloud. She has won prizes in a number of competitions and story slams, and her pieces have been published in print and online in the US, Australia and the UK. She lives in the Dorset countryside with her husband.
Buying Time is narrated by Suzie Althens. Suzie lives in Alaska, where she records in a booth next to the pantry (just left of the garbanzo beans). When she isn't narrating or staring at the mountains, Suzie is gardening, sketching or cooking for friends and family.

Bought and paid for by Victoria Foote-Blackman on 6 June 2018
A lovely, spare piece of prose that reminds us all of our mortality and missed chances. elegant, magical ending too. Mary Bevan's A Day at the Beach-Blue Pig's Story, is also exceptionally well crafted. A very talented writer.

Loved it! by linahoward on 21 April 2016
A great story by Mary, narrated perfectly by Suzie. Just right for a tea interlude when you need a break from work. And what a superb idea - if only!
Thought Provoking Story by della galton on 7 April 2016
A beautifully written thought provoking story about buying time. Oh that this were possible. We waste so much of it don't we and we can't buy one single second back. I wish we could. Lovely story.
