Blood, Sweat and Typewriters by Fosseway Writers
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.
The Brinwade Chronicles
In a village nestling on a Nottingham
shire 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 in habitants, 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 cover of thirteen authors from the 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.

In February 2019, my partner and I embarked on our 43-day bucket list trip to New Zealand, Australia and Singapore. I wrote a diary every day and turned it into this book – over a year later and finally it’s in print.
The cover was created by Christine Goldschmidt.

Who knew??? 2 September 2020
A very informative tour of NZ. I must confess outside of Lord of the Rings, a trip to New Zealand was only on the outside of my “must see” destinations. However this has made me think……
It is a wonderfully descriptive book told in the warm humour of a Yorkshire woman that gives real insight into the “how to’s” of a bucket list holiday.
Prices, car hire, insect bites and lack of nail varnish remover all get coverage in the author’s overview. I particularly never knew Glow Worms could be visited and enjoyed as they are in NZ. A nice bonus is plenty of pics are on the author’s website to accompany the book.
All in all, a positive experience and a welcome distraction from lockdown situations and inability to be able to plan holidays currently. Hopefully one day we can get on holidays like this. In the meantime – read this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Expect the unexpected in this story! A great Christmas novella that can be enjoyed all year round.
This Christmas novella gave a great insight into all the characters which is often very difficult to achieve in a shorter book. Although the story is set at Christmas time, you could read it all year round, but be prepared to be scared if you are on your own! The cottage provides a great setting to the story and some great twists and turns along the way. Expect the unexpected! Read this all in one go!
4.0 out of 5 stars …. Not just for Christmas
A great read that can be appreciated any time of the year. Great writing and I felt really involved in the storyline. As a short story I think it had excitement, intensity and was totally engaging. I couldn’t stop reading. Looking forward to new work from this author.
Burning Old School Ties – A novel
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Set in Newark. Great story.
Living in Newark, what drew me to the book was that it’s set here and in a time that I attended school. However the book itself is a really good read. Lots of content to the individual stories that all merge into one. Would definitely recommend.
4.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining read!
A very well edited project!
Even though there are several authors involved, the whole story progresses very nicely.
Quite a nostalgic look back on the nineties, meshed together in the drama of a school reunion. What I liked most was that many of the narrators concerns and “hang ups” are echoed in us all as we get older.
That, and the fact that many who seem villains aren’t necessarily all bad, and vice versa. A bit like real life!!
Recommended!!
