Launching Soon...


Next week it's launch time...three libraries, three events and compelling prose...


Our first event kicks off in Watton at 6 pm in the library on 26th October. Gorleston on the
27th at 6.30 pm  - and finally, Swaffham on Friday 28th.

Watch this space for news.....meanwhile here's the blurb on the back of the book...


Gull Stones and Cuckoos is a clear-eyed, passionate and honest book of life-writing about contemporary country living in Norfolk.

Lost halls, early morning walks, stillness, fairy-light skies, telescopes on allotments, the loneliness of grief and the adventure of new places in rural Norfolk. The writers in this book are new to writing but their stories and observations are compellingly authentic.
This book has grown out of an Arts Council England project, Rural Writes, a partnership between Norfolk Library and Information Service and Words and Women.
Contributions from: Gill Ashton, Camilla Balshaw, Chanel Richenda Carlyon, Enid Clarke, Larie Danson, Charlie Dearden, Cynthia Gallogo, M.C.  Gardner, Jan Godfrey, M.B.E., Hilary Hanbury, Julia Howarth, Nichola Lovell, Lyn Mckinnon, Rhonda Peak, Maxine Robertson, Jane Rudd, Leah Spencer, Jurgita Stipiniene, Katrina Stockdale and Jayne Winterbone.
