The Taste of Rain
A miscellany of modern fiction
Various authors
The stories are inhabited by characters who are at times naturalistic and at others an embodiment of the imaginary world they inhabit. From the mystical elements of the title story to the mythical dancers in Ghostly Laughter and the quirky characters of Dotty and Blacky, these stories draw the reader into a world of shifting realities, questioning relationships and morally diverse individuals inhabiting a whole range of worlds from the mundane to the fantastic. Above all, these stories offer variety, pathos and contemplation, combined with an occasional surprise and a touch of humour.

The Coiner’s Wife
A play in five acts by
Maurice Claypole
From a remote weaver’s cottage in the bleak Yorkshire moors, a gang of counterfeiters (the ‘Cragg Vale Coiners’) launch a nefarious scheme that threatens to unsettle the currency of 18th century England.
Bound in marriage to their leader, known locally as ‘King’ David, Grace Hartley is torn between the forces of love, duty and conscience, whilst at the same time struggling with motherhood and the need to keep hunger at bay.
After the counterfeiters’ initial success, opposing forces gather, led by William Dighton, Supervisor of Excises, who sets in motion a series of events that have momentous consequences.
This play is based on a true story that has gripped the inhabitants of the Upper Calder Valley for centuries, but has so far received little prominence elsewhere.
The Calder Valley is known to many as the setting for the hit television series Happy Valley.
A female perspective
This drama uniquely presents the historic and tumultuous events of this episode in
history from a woman’s point of view. Very little is known about the real Grace Hartley
or the other women in this story. In the male-
Casting: 10M / 6F, doubling possible.

Poetry from a
kaleidoscopic mind
Wayne Martyn
This debut collection of poems finds Wayne Martyn fully exposed, candidly sharing
life experiences and divulging his innermost thoughts.
The spoken word artist ponders on adolescence, being bipolar in a world that encourages
polarisation, popular culture, the vortex of social media, staring down the Grim
Reaper, substance abuse and self-

A Parting Shot
and other twisted tales
Maurice Claypole
This new collection of short stories by Maurice Claypole is more than just a gripping read. It spans the range from the supernatural to the contemplative, from fantasy and tales of the imagination to the here and now.
Each story aims to entertain whilst at the same time striking a chord in the reader, awakening primeval fears and serving as a reminder that things are very often not what they seem.
A combination of the magical, the mystical and the prosaic, each tale is unique and yet together, they present a fascinating panoply of human life, a world of dreams fulfilled and unfulfilled, a world of trial and endeavour, but always a world in which we can recognise ourselves and in which individuals are driven to seek the unseekable and are yet prepared to laugh at the inevitable.

Abiola Eden
This collection of short poems is at the same time an affirmation, a protest and
a celebration.
Each tercet represents a surge of emotion encapsulated in a minimalist form.
Inspired by the challenges of everyday life reflected in haiku-
These three-
‘Complex imagery embraced in a simple form
serves as a haven for deeper meaning’
‘A celebration of triumph over gender slavery’
