Malvern Theatres ‘As You Read It’

Last night at Malvern Theatres was wonderful. There were 9 finalists with a mix of entertaining stories and a lovely audience who were a joy to perform to.  I read my story, A Chance for Charlie, first and was then able to relax and enjoy the other stories. A marvellous evening. The competition As You Read It is to be held again later in the year so, if you feel you want to  have a go at story telling, keep an eye on the website: www.malvern-theatres.co.uk

Alfiedog.com – download short stories

Alfiedog.com is a new on-line site for downloading short stories. The launch date is May 16th 2012. See my Writing News page on my website: www.faywentworth.wordpress.com for a copy of the Press Release. Full details of the site and its content are there. Several of my stories – contemporary, crime, romance and humour - are included on the site for the launch and there will be other stories available on a regular basis. Take a look – it’s an exciting innovation!

New Book

Sweet Destiny, a trilogy of novellas, contains three stories of mystery and intrigue, villainy and romance that will keep the reader turning the pages to discover the truth and final destiny of the characters. I have just received the final proofs, very exciting, and publication date is May 8th. Not long to wait now. I’ll post more details and a photo of the cover on my website soon.

 

 

Malvern Theatres

Wonderful news – I have been selected as one of eight finalists to read my story, A Chance for Charlie,at the ‘As You Read It’ live event in Malvern Theatre on Thursday 17th May at 7.30pm. The story is humorous so, hopefully, will entertain. Malvern Theatre audiences are fantastic! Full details on my Festivals and Fun page.

Talks and readings

Two lovely audiences this week – Ledbury W.I. and Peterchurch Pensioners. I really enjoy meeting new people.

Talk

I attended a meeting of Docklow Ladies last night, and had a wonderful evening. The Ladies were such fun and so interesting and, after my talk, we had delicious refreshments and a very social evening. I was rather late home! But I really enjoyed it.

Bromyard Literary Trail

Bromyard Literary Trail, and the rain held off! Bromyard basked in sunshine and the Conquest Theatre was buzzing, plenty of interest and I met some lovely people. Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Over 20 authors and poets attended in 6 different venues, with a Town Crier heralding the trail. See my page Festivals and Fun for a photograph.

Bromyard Literary Trail

Looking forward to Saturday and the trail of authors around Bromyard. I shall be at the Conquest Theatre – great venue – from 10.30am.

Malvern Theatres

Malvern Theatres are running their ‘As You Read It ‘ competition again this year. The competition calls for a ten minute, read aloud, original short story. I was lucky enough to be among the eight finalists last year and read my story ‘Whisper in the Wind’ (1400 words) to an audience of over 300. Amazing and terrifying, but I’m entering again this year! The event will be held on May 17th at Malvern Theatres and, believe you me, it is a fantastic event for short story writers. Check out the details at www.malvern-theatres.co.uk.

Bromyard Literary Festival

The festival runs from 14th to 18th March – an exciting lineup of authors, poets, children’s authors/illustrators, book designers/printers, and much more. Full details at www.bromyard.info. Check it out and come along, it will be fun! Don’t forget to call at the Conquest Theatre where I’ll be signing my books; and Ralph, the canine author, will be launching his new book.
