Hello Denizens… Apologies for not having dropped in for quite a while. Been a bit all over the place with various life stuff, but still writing. Good to see news popping up on facebook for various peeps, and as we go into the autumn I’ll try to pop in here more often to keep in touch. x

Gosh, it is ages since I dropped in…far too much going on in the world outside of writing! Hope everyone’s doing OK.
I’ve finished editing the memoir I was working on – author very pleased with the result, so that’s good. Still getting to grips with Tilda #4’s huge plot hole and whittling away at that when I can. Still trying to carve out…[Read more]

Congratulations Sandra. I loved both stories so I don’t envy Ath having to choose.
Couldn’t think of anything so had to bow out.

Ath, I know I’ve not been round much recently, but that looks fab! Noticed that blogs and whatever the heading is next to it both go bold when you click on blogs, but it seems so much easier and intuitive to navigate. Thank you xxx

Headline (397 words excluding heading)
I’ve spent the last 17 months recovering from a particularly horrific Halloween party and I’m reluctant to accept this invitation to another one.
Still, if you have to face your fears, where better to do it than with a group of thrill seekers who think nothing of taking ‘daring’ to its limit?
Yes, I know it…[Read more] -

In the place and time I found myself, I had done something wrong.
My punishment? A chain of large metal links, secured around my throat, pressing against my flesh, reminding me of its presence every time I swallowed or turned my head.
A man, with whom I had a connection – were we related? Was he the reason for my wrongdoing? – received the sam…[Read more]

Found out today that Super Stories has been longlisted (1 of 8) in the Lunchtime Book Club, a new children’s book prize based in Luton! SO chuffed.
(Also in some amazing company – Frank Cotterell-Boyce; Lauren St Child; Marcus Rashford as well as others I’m not so familiar with)

That is truly awesome @squidge! Very chuffed and happy for you. Congrats 🥳🥳

You’re on a roll, Squidge! Excellent news. That’s brilliant company you’re in too.

Oh my days…I’m going to be spoilt for choice, the state of my dreams! I’ll avoid the teeth-dropping out ones and see what else weird and wonderful I recorded in my dream diary.

Squidge started the topic Short story accepted in the forum Podium 4 years, 9 months ago
Found out yesterday I’ve had a short story – Moonlight and Roses – accepted for a Dark & Light themed anthology by Ruler’s Wit (a group of writers and editors who met at Lufbra Uni on a creative writing Masters).
Funnily enough, it started out as a piece that didn’t work at all in my writing group NIBS, but for some reason it worked for…[Read more]

It was the same every year.
She took as many precautions as possible, wrapping everything carefully, keeping the box closed tight until the right moment came, making sure her hands were washed clean when it did.
And then…
