Writers Anonymous Our dark fiction group has captivated readers with haunting tales, chilling stories & psychopathy ;-) Writers Anonymous was established in 2005.

After local authority funding was withdrawn for its adult education creative writing courses, eight students, Mark Allen, Paul Bunn, Colin Butler, Nicolette Coleman, Trish Gibbs, Jessie Hobson, David Shaer, and Simon Woodward, got together to continue their addiction to creative writing, and Writers Anonymous (WA) was born. However, unlike the stories drafted, rewritten, and redrafted, during less

ons, only to be consigned to the dark dusty realms of desk drawers, bags, or worse – the bin, the WA stories would see the light of day in the form of a (mostly) annual collection of novellas and verse, written for the “Dark Fiction” genre. The first anthology from the Writers Anonymous writing stable was “Sinister”, published in 2006.

In 1888, young constable Alan Heath comes across the murdered body of an Earl's daughter, Lady Patience. A cover-up leads to an innocent man being hanged. But Heath won't let it go. His gentle demeanor hides a cunning mind, and as he rises through the ranks as Scotland Yard's finest detective, he never forgets his promise to find the true killer, traveling to colonial India and to Germany in the last days of World War I to uncover long-hidden clues. On the cusp of retirement, after 35 years, he solves the case. But Patience's noble family has changed, and so has England. Heath must think long and hard about what to reveal--and to whom. I hope to publish this someday!

Here's my current sleuth, Wren Fontaine, an architect who specializes in renovating historic homes. Generally uncomfortable around people, she is most at peace working alone in great homes. But in her first outing Wren finds a Gilded Age home is connected to some dark murders. She slowly comes out of her shell as she tentatively starts a romance with a lively young woman who has her own secrets. Wren may have trouble with people, but when seeing the subtle and fascinating ways homes and people affect each other, she shows herself surprisingly shrewd in uncovering murderers.
