Author Description

Inkers are a long-established collection of writers who gather fortnightly in person at the Friends’ Meeting House in Darlington, though when the weather turns inclement, they opt instead to share their work online. This anthology contains short stories in various genres, many of them featuring a satisfying twist. From crime to romance, and science fiction to a hilarious romp set in the Wild West, the authors explore their particular topics through highly individualistic choices in terms of tone and style. A Thread of Raindrops includes a story whose subject matter is domestic abuse, an account of a disquieting railway journey, another which entertains us with a memorable romantic encounter in Memphis, and the final work is an enthralling narrative of a fishing expedition, expressed in the form of a charming folk tale. These are just some of the stories anthologised in this book.
