DARFIELD TREATED TO READINGS AT BOOK LAUNCH Darfield Library was a hive of activity last Saturday afternoon for the launch of Co ee Grounds, an anthology of short stories written by members of the Malvern Writers’ Café. Thirteen enthusiastic writers contributed short stories or poetry to their Co ee Grounds anthology, serving up a tasty selection of witty to deep and meaningful tales. Each story reflects the creative voice and style of the individual author with thirtyfour stories in total in the anthology. This is the first joint publication by members of the Malvern Writers’ Café and while some members have been published before, for others this is a new experience. The Malvern Writers’ Café was sparked by the idea of bringing together writers from across the area to share ideas, learn the art of writing and spend time honing their skills. Since its beginning, more people have joined what is now an enthusiastic group of writers who contribute stories, impart knowledge and encourage each other in their writing pursuits. Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month from 10am until 12noon, in a conference room at the Darfield Library. Those wishing to take up writing or who have a writing project in mind are welcome to attend, mingle and learn in a supportive environment.
Copies of the anthology are available for $20 at the Malvern News o ice in Darfield or by emailing: malvernwriterscafe@gmail.com.
Celebrating the release of Coffee Grounds and cutting the cake, made by Platter Cake Platter Cake, are authors Sandra Arnold and Alyse Boaz.
