The works in this anthology explore the theme of ‘Beneath the Surface’ in a diverse array of engaging short stories, poems, travel stories, biography, and memoir. The authors are all members of the Lake Macquarie Branch of the Fellowship of Australian Writers which is celebrating twenty years of providing comradeship and support to local writers as they develop their writing skills.
‘The book will appeal to readers of many different genres and tastes, and can be read slowly, in small moments that transform the everyday into something a little richer, or read quickly in one intense sitting. Either way, Beneath the Surface is a delight.’ (from the Foreword by Magdalena Ball, novelist, poet and editor of Compulsive Reader)
