Who We Are

We are a small group of enthusiastic creative writers based in Whalley, Lancashire.  We first came together in a Creative Writing Evening Class at Whalley Adult Centre a number of years ago and have been meeting weekly since then.  Our current venue is the Cloisters Cafe at Whalley Abbey where we gather most Tuesdays.  Two years ago we published a book of short stories: Lancashire Tales - Light and Dark.  This is a collection of original fiction that uses our county as a backdrop for the kind of stories you might not associate with northern England, but which reflect the varied styles and passions of our authors.
Our book was considered for the David St.John Thomas Anthology prize, but sadly did not make the cut for the short-list of three.
More lately SL produced a magazine-style publication: 'Tales from the Grave' which was well received and got a good review in SFX magazine.  He is now working on the follow-up: 'Tales from Beyond' - the accent is definitely on SF for this one.
