New Year, New Projects
Hello again! Looking forward to next meeting? So are we! It's going to be on Thursday 18th and we expect to have a lot of fun as usual. We are also planning something exciting... our very first anthology as a collective of authors. It is very early still to give concrete details, but we want it to be a collection of short stories by our regular attendants, so it will contain a handsome variety of works. To learn more, keep an eye on the blog. Or better, come and join us.
Meanwhile, our colleague Sarah Bartrum has published her latest novel, called Keep Them Safe, a gripping thriller that you'll surely appreciate and which is available through Amazon.
