March 2026
It'll soon be Easter.. 2026 is 25% gone already!
Well, I can't do anything to stop the passage of time but
what I can do is fill some of that precious commodity with a new edition of
Winamop.
Firstly I have to tell you that KJ Hannah Greenberg has a
new book out called No One Sighs Over Wastrels’ Graves. It's
available via
Amazon.
Secondly, well let's just crack-on.
Michael
Smith is here with his first story for 2026. This one is about a
young lad on an unusual career path. It's called: The
Wizard.
Terry
Brinkman has another of his short reminiscences for us. This one is
about what goes on round his way on Ash Wednesday.
Simon
King's story looks in on a meeting in Cambridge between economists
John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich Hayek. Read Keynes and
Hayek.
Tony
Dawson brings us another of his short stories, this one is called
Jill’s Dream House and it's a bit of a spooky tale.
KJ Hannah

romantic location where she expects to receive a proposal. The story is called

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!
