Author Description

Inspired by the bicentenary of the world’s first passenger railway – the Stockton and Darlington Railway – A Trainful Of Stories is a vibrant anthology of short stories, memoir and poetry, all bound together by the overarching theme of railway travel.<br/><br/>From crime and fantasy to science fiction, this collection offers a rich variety of tone and style. Within its pages you’ll find a poetic reflection on the Underground Railroad, a Eurostar journey to Germany to claim a long-forgotten legacy, and a whimsical day-trip to Whitby featuring a talking tortoise.<br/><br/>The Inkers, a community of creative writers based at the Friends’ Meeting House in Darlington, invite you to climb aboard, take a seat, and travel through landscapes both real and imaginary.
