About the Author

Bognor Regis Write Club has been meeting monthly since 2013 and is not just any writing group. Our members are writing fiction with the aim of being published. Several of our members are published writers and we love to share in each other's successes. We act as a mutual support group, offering feedback on writing skills and story lines and tips on getting stuff published - we are not a group for beginners or writers with thin skins! I'd like to thank all who have contributed to this edition, especially the sub-committee: Robert Winter, Steve Taylor and Caroline Travis, who gave up several long evenings to proofread and edit this collection. And a special thanks to Heather Robbins, who provided the cover image and prepared the proofs for print. We hope you enjoy this collection of our work. It gives a flavour of the wide scope of genres that we dabble in. I'd like to think the stories and poems in this, our 2nd anthology, showcase our talents, and that we have created a book we can all be proud to be a part of.
