Toby

I mostly read poetry in various formats and genres, but would love to expand in to other types of reading! My most read non-poet authors are William Burroughs and Jack Kerouac. Would love to join a book club or discussion type group, to expand my taste and simply to just find new friends and recommendations!

Hi all! A 29yo public affairs professional with particular interests in history, literature, politics, international affairs and creative writing.

Michael

Depends on my mood, I do like older translated literature and the classics. But always down to read a nice fantasy or romance novel and sink into my chair with a nice mug of coffee.

R.J.

I am a published author with books published in the usa and although I write almost daily I feel I would not only like to get my publications widely known, I would like to meet locals who are struggling or need help in their pursuit of publication. I mostly write historical fiction and fictional crime. I hasten to add I am hoping to join a bookclub at the Southend Forum Library which meets on the first thursday aft of every month and is run by SWAN Southend Writers and Artists which is on facebook. I am retired so I have plenty of free time to write, a passion I enjoy very much. Thanks R.J.

A Bolt From The Blue by Robert James Bridge
A Bolt From The Blue

Well to be blunt yes its one of my own publications ie Canadian Historical Fiction and although a true story I have used fictional characters throughout. This is the story of the halifax explosion in 1917 in which almost 2,000 lives were taken when two ammunition ships collided in the harbour of Halifax Nova Scotia , the date was 6th DEC at 9am 1917 a date etched in the minds of many Canadians.
