We’re delighted to announce that our new 2018 anthology of short stories and poems is available to buy from Amazon and at our stand at Newark Book Festival 2018 this weekend.
The Title “Gobstoppers, Shrimps and Sour Monkeys” plays on the fact that these are 
small and tasty treats: some will leave you unable to speak, some are tiny and some may not be what you expect. Much like someone else’s bag of pick & mix.
Fosseway Writers have been around and producing anthologies for almost two decades and this new book is, in part, a celebration of the best bits from those earlier collections. There are also brand new pieces from current members including Linda Cooper, Sean Gaughan, Anne Howkins, Jackie Leitch and N.K. Rowe.
The literature-based snacks you can read between novels without ruining your appetite.
A pick’n’mix selection of short stories and poems from current members of Fosseway Writers as well as some Greatest Hits from the past. You’ll see some strained relationships, some new beginnings and some sudden endings. Some of our selection are funny; some are absolutely not. Some are sweet. Some will leave a nasty taste in your mouth.
Perhaps you should try one? Put your hand in – what will you pull out?
It’s probably Death. There’s a lot of Death.
Still, chin up, eh? Keep ‘em away from the kids, though…
Clare Harvey, author of The Gunner Girl, The English Agent and The Night Raid was kind enough to read a proof copy and gave a rather fabulous quote:
“This smorgasbord of stories and poems from the talented group of Fosseway Writers is by turns witty, dark and poignant – and deliciously moreish.”
You can pick up a copy from Amazon on paperback (£6.99, US$9.74) or Kindle Edition (99p, US$1.33).
