  Behind the death of a person, a building or a place, life goes on. Here is a strong sense of many places: rural North Wales, a quarry, the woods, a Welsh Woollen Mill storeroom, the banks of the Atchafalaya River, a claustrophobic swampland shack, the Texas panhandle and more.     And there are people. Quinn maybe protects two brothers, from their dead Mam’s sexual secrets. Febby plans her escape. Mostyn has to please his publisher and Mary Mc Allister still nurses the Infant Jesus years after her own baby died. Anne Forrest paints colourful word pictures of these people and places in There’s More to Life than Death.  Find your copy here     Imaginative, witty, topical stories with unexpected twists and turns. The book portrays snippets of everyday life which contain a deeper meaning than is immediately apparent. There are stories about women who try to prove they are not invisible, people escaping from a cult, coincidental encounters with long lost...

Charity books: Aftermath,Gentle Footprints,Covid 19 An Extraordinary Time

Image
  A continuing response by writers to the Covid19 pandemic in 2020 and during the ongoing aftershocks in 2021. This collection is of work by writers we have published before and whom we trust, and their trusted colleagues. When disasters strike writers respond and react in words. They share with us their hopes and fears. They describe and rationalise.  Like its companion book this volume contains pieces of fiction, flash fiction, script, poetry, memoir and some texts which cannot easily be categorised.               There is a loose chronology here – the texts are listed by the order in which they were written and / or by the times to which they refer. There are messages of hope, cries of despair and acts of kindness. This hardback book is above all a glimpse, a snapshot of some astonishing human history.      Aftermath is the second book in a series of creative responses to the 2020 pand...
