Our first author... Pen is author/illustrator of middle-grade novel Dear Earthling: Cosmic Corresondent, published by Common Deer Press. Find out more about Pen at penavey.com or follow her on Twitter: Pen Avey or Instagram: pen.avey

Our second author, Tim Cashmore, has made a short Halloween film, and written two pantomimes. The first one, Hansel, Gretel And Miss Parpalot The Flatulent Witch, blew critics away. Literally. Follow him on Twitter: TNCashmore or on Instagram: Tim Saunders

Since 2013, Caroline Dudley, our third author, has been the Voluntary Publicity Officer at The Magpie Centre, home of West Norfolk Riding For The Disabled. She can be contacted by e-mail at: [email protected] or Facebook.com/CDcopywriter

Jay Harlow published The Line in 2020 which imagined what might have happened if The Queen fired the government and put ordinary people in charge of the country. Buy The Line from mygreenpod.com or contact [email protected] An extract appears in our forthcoming book.

Kevin Kavanagh is primarily a rhymster. His serious work focuses on recording the events of Pott Row. He has been guided and influenced by better folk than he and, as an homage, has taken it upon himself to write epitaphs upon their passing (too many, too soon, alas).

Our next author, Alex Lassoued has tried his hand at soldiering, running a castle and working as a film extra. Besides his two kids, his proudest moment was winning first prize in the village shooting competition. A fiver. He spent the cash on a pint, and received no change.

After joining the Norfolk Writers' Exchange, Carol Page reworked a short story written some years ago. Her entry, The Woman With The Devil On Her Shoulder, included in our new book, was highly commended for the Norwich Writers' Circle Olga Sinclair Members' Shield in 2021.

Kathy Saunders' book Three Million Wheelbarrows - the story of the Eau Brink Cut - tells of the efforts of merchants and landowners to reduce flooding by straightening the River Great Ouse 200 years ago. It is available from bitternbooks.co.uk, 01603 739 635.

Chris Toye trained as an art teacher and took up posts in Kenya and Botswana. He was a member of the Norfolk Writers' Exchange for some years, but sadly died in 2019. There are plans to publish his memoir, Binder Twine To Arse Grass: Memoirs Of A Travelling Teacher, posthumously.

Jonathan Toye has lived and worked in Norfolk all his life. He worked as an actor, teacher and disability rights advocate. He retired in 2019. Jonathan enjoys performing his poetry at the monthly Songwriters & Poets meeting in Downham Market.

Sue Vaughan-Williams, designed with a French perfume house, worked with organisations supporting severe disability, developed an online gallery, then returned to painting. Sue is now a respected artist - exhibiting and collected widely. susanvaughanwilliams.co.uk

Our final author, Clare Woroniecka, says, "While attending The Norfolk Writers' Exchange, I wrote a short novel. I had young people in mind, as they give me hope. Reading poetry and fiction saved me when I was growing up - it made me realise I wasn't alone."
