Gobstoppers, Shrimps and Sour Monkeys

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.

Burning Old School Ties

Hercules Clay Comprehensive School is having a reunion to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Class of ’89. We follow eight former pupils as they return to a school they left over two decades ago and none of them are the same as they were. Some have lost their way, some have blossomed, others have reinvented themselves and some are back for revenge. A unique writing project, this is a collaborative novel by members of Fosseway Writers: eight authors, eight voices, eight intertwined tales within one story focused on one night.

The Brinwade Chronicles

In a village nestling on a Nottinghamshire hill, hidden by ancient trees, off the beaten track but close to a web of rivers and roads, railways and power lines… there’s a crackle of something different, a hint of mystical doorways, tales of unusual inhabitants, the irrepressible force of Nature, the Supernatural and the downright Unnatural.
Welcome to Brinwade Catlow, a village like no other.
The Chronicles contain twenty-eight stories written by a coven of thirteen authors from Fosseway Writers. Be prepared for Gothic tales which span the years, which surprise and entertain… and which caress your senses with icy fingers of dread.

Blood, Sweat and Typewriters

A follow-up to the 2018 anthology, Gobstoppers, Shrimps and Sour Monkeys, this is a collection of short stories, flash fiction and poetry from current members of Fosseway Writers. Featuring competition winners and content previously selected for other literary publications, this book also contains a wide variety of genres and styles from eighteen different writers.
Inside these pages you will find family dramas, beautiful travelogues, unreliable histories, personal recollections, unexpected twists, quirky tales and a taste of the supernatural.
They might not have been written on actual typewriters and the amounts of blood and sweat exuded might have been no more than a paper cut in a warm room, but playing the creative licence card is one of the perks of being a writer.
