First Time Published

By -
So following on the coattails of Mike, I am so very excited to say that I will be having a short story published.
I'm not sure if anyone remembers me mentioning the open submission/call for horror stories based on classic arcade games? Well, the one I wrote was accepted. I am so excited - I'm not generally an excitable person as you all know!!!
The book is called Game Over and is edited by Jonathan Green, who is also a writer of various titles himself, covering sci-fi, fantasy, gaming books and more.

There are twelve authors, I have no idea who the others are, or what they wrote. The book will be out around the 12th August I believe.
Jonathan also did a lovely bit of editing for me too!

Woohoo! Brilliant Alex! Really pleased for you. I'll add the book to my wish list for when it comes out.
You're better organised than me - I'm still writing my arcade story. Missed the deadline but, Heinlein's 2nd rule, I might as well finish it.
Congrats
Mike

There were two joint runners up - Paul Mann with The Diary and Amy Watkins with The Long Song -  both these stories centred on someone's diary and were set in dystopian futures. Gee also gave two commendations for Lynne Quarrell and Chris Black.  Gee was very generous with her feedback and general advice to wr...

Hello writers, Just a reminder that tonight will be our first night to try out a new venue. We will be meeting at The Bridge Inn, Port Sunlight Village, as a trial run for future meetings. As mentioned at the last meeting, we will be having a meal beforehand - in lieu of our Christmas Dinner - so please attend at 6pm, after which, we will retire to another room to continue our usual club session. Information about The Bridge Inn can be found here -  https://www.greeneking-pubs.co.uk/pubs/merseyside/bridge-inn/ And hopefully this map and link will assist with finding the location. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Bridge+Inn+Hotel

Hi everyone, Just a few words to say what a lovely day we had on Sunday at Brook Meadows. The meal was very good and the company excellent. (It goes without saying) Once again the flash ficition proved a hit. The choice of words gave a lot of scope for some quite inventive tales. I'm sorry I didn't say good-bye to everyone. I got talking and it was five o'clock before we realised it and I assumed that everybody had left. I think Doreen and myself were the last to leave. The weather, well what can be said of such a stunning Summer Day. the hottest I believe for a few years. Arthur didn't make it because he had hurt his foot but hopes to be with us on Friday. I didn't pick his email up until Monday. I've uploaded this photo but it's too small and I'm not sure how to make it larger. I'll print one out for Friday and bring it with me. Another piece of news just received a minute ago. Claire Oxley can announce the winner of the Maynah Lewis competition on...
