Welcome. This blog was started three years ago by four aspiring writers who are now three published authors of novels and short stories (Barbara Elsborg, Dawn Jackson, Arlene Webb) and one multiple award-winning writer (Laurie Green). We blog to keep readers updated on our new releases or other random topics. We hope you enjoy your stay. :] Coffee?

Ageism

Having just failed to get anywhere in another competition - why do I bother- I noted something odd about the shortlist of winners. Out of 5 winners- 4 were in their early twenties and 1 was in her early thirties. We had to put our age on the entry form and at the time I thought - why does it matter. Husband said don't tell them you're 93, lie. No, said I, I'll tell the truth because it would be just my luck to win and then find I was disqualified. But it does seem suspicious to me. Why does it matter how old we are?


ohh - just in case George Clooney!!
