Matthew Stanley

Hamlet and Eggs

A very funny story about a man and his magical chickens.  If you like your comedy slightly surreal, then is is for you..

Debra Tuckett  

Easter Lovat

Debra is a new member of Abbeydale Writers who has endeared herself to us and we think you too will respond to her delicate story telling style.  
This is a farm in Scotland, where, as in many parts of  Great Britain during the War, prisoners of war were put to work on the land. This is a   romance surrounding one such Italian POW Antonio Colazzi, and the farming  family he lived with and worked for and became close to. A sensitively             portrayed situation of which some of the older  members of AWG experienced personal variations.  Many readers will enjoy Debra's delicate                         handling  of her characters and situations.
                      
                        Pat Parkin

       Up, Up and Away

 One of Pat's more recent offerings.  This story is taken from our 2003 Anthology.  This one is a humorous story  of  aeronautical  ambitions    which  get rather out of hand. If you don't like heights, this one's not for you.
         
              Chris Shaw 

       The Swap

         More of Chris's inventive humour. His talent is not just thinking of instantly evocative situations but also in developing twists in the                tale.  Sometimes you can see them coming but not this time.
         During our weekly meeting Chris's reading is usually left till last because it is impossible to follow it for tears of laughter.

             Bob Lockett

                The Cherry Tree

                      As writers sometimes do, Bob has refashioned this story very considerably. So it won't be proceding to his original plan and is                                       temporarily withdrawn.  In due course it will continue you'll be pleased to know. Bob's stories normally contain an unusal amount of                               blood. But not this time - at least not so far.He is one of our most accomplished fiction writers whose chief attraction for many of us is                           not just his plots but choice of phrase throughout his novels. Without being overtly affected by dialect, this does reflect his Northern                           English origins. Our overseas readers may find this slightly unusual but nevertheless will surely get the feeling of reality that springs                             from his characters.

Poetry

Owen Barber
Brincliffe Oaks

Owen is an enthusiastic member of the group who loves to write in strong rythms and
play with word association through rhyme. The "Oaks" of which he writes were a local living landmark, until the Authorities took a hand.

Joyce Harrington

The Fall, Small Things and  Magpies

Thoughtful, thought provoking and well crafted are these three poems from Joyce. Whether or not poetry turns you on, you'll find yourself thinking  about Joyce's poems. They have sneaky truths tucked away inside them.
