July 2024
July already? How time flies..
We're back with a whole host of great stuff for your
reading, viewing - and even listening - pleasure!
A couple of notices to tell you about: Gary Hewitt, who
brought us a story last month has a novel out called
"Shadowfruit". It is, of course, available on Amazon.. Another Gary - Gary Beck - has
a book of poetry out called "Virtual Living". It's also available through
Amazon.
On to the new edition and it's good to be able to welcome
so many new contributors this time, all with high quality material too.
There's much to enjoy..
Bill
Diamond is back and presents two tiny nuggets of flash fiction for
us. Here are Brother Reconsidered and Unmatched
Set. Short but sweet.
Michael
Smith is new to the site and introduces himself with a splendid tale
from the "wild west". A stranger rides into town, seems like a nice guy, wears
a red hat. Read Medicine Show to find out what's going on.
Terry
Brinkman has been to Yellowstone and Tetons National Park with all
the family. They went up to the Over Look above the Old Faithful
Geyser.
Travis
Flatt is also new to the site and his first for us is set in a town
in the grip of some kind of violent historical re-enactment. It's called
I’ve Got Ten on the Pretty Fella.
Frucht-Schleifen introduces
himself with some fine music. Here are three tunes to wallow in, get those
headphones on!
KJ Hannah Greenberg again brings us
a collection of her photography. This time with an avian theme.
Terry Brinkman has a great new
piece of art called Bison Stroll. It's on his art page where you
can see all his other pictures too.
Diane
Webster is back with some excellent new stuff! Here is:
Halloween Mask - Seas Again - I Am A Corral - On Landing and
Tree Trimmer Moments.
Bradford
Middleton last brought a story in 2020, but now it's poetry:
Tonight Ain’t Bad But Tomorrow Will Be A Glorious Wasted Mess Of A
Day - My Kind Of Simple Life - From Hell To Here and TV Brain
Death Takes Me To Bed.
KJ Hannah
Greenberg has some new poems for us. We have: Wigglefloof -
Fusty and Sike.
Terry
Brinkman has written three poems for us this time. They are:
Scampering Bag - Night Cable and Traipsing Abby.
Bill
Diamond has contributed a poem in addition to his stories. It's
called Two Dawns.
Orbindu
Ganga has a new poem for us this time. It's called The
Quietude within: Tales of Eventide.
I have enjoyed the variety and quality of the
contributions this time and I hope that you did too..

Winamop was conceived on a
whim, is run on a shoestring, ignored by the many, loved by the few and has
continued unabashed since 2003.
All human life is here,
experienced people, skilled writers and rank amateurs, sometimes they hit the
mark, sometimes they belly-flop (sometimes they mix their metaphors). You pick
up the pieces and make of them what you will. Find out about us
here and about the site here.The contributor's guidelines are
here and the e-mail button is below.
We hope to continue to maintain a showcase
for new writing which will grow as you, dear readers, augment the efforts of
the in-house team. We have over 800 unique pages so far but, quite frankly, we
need more...
Have a good look around and if you feel
that you'd like to contribute in any genre, then don't be shy, send it in! The
copyright remains yours, and you could win a mop (unlikely, as I've run
out).
Jump straight to a category using the
buttons at the top of the page, they work from any page. Remember, it's all
free and is made from 100% natural ingredients!
By the way, we use a cookie to record your
page ratings, if you don't rate a page you won't get one!
