Two colleagues join me

Today I have posted two short stories by other writers I know. Rosie Pursglove and I go way back a long way and she took to fiction writing and blogging long before me. It was with her encouragement that I first began blogging in 2007, when I started Parkviews, then in 2011 I joined the WEA Beeston's Writing Class. Rosie's very successful blog is called Corners of my Mind and dates from 2005.

Her contribution, Encore, has been written especially for Senior Fiction, so thank you Rosie.

I met Kevin Rodrigues at the WEA class in Beeston and he has just published his first novel, a detective story, as an e-book.



A stranger is brutally murdered in Tufton Magna Library and the examining pathologist says the man had survived a bomb blast, but DCI Johnny Benedetti needs to establish the man's identity before he can tackle the question of who murdered him.

Kevin is a retired GP, so he know all about body bits.

It is still early days and I have yet to tell more than a few close writing colleagues about Senior Fiction, so if you have found me, then enjoy the two latest short stories.

In sidebar to the right I have added a wonderful quote from Tessa Hadley and given it the heading, 'The magic of writing'.
