Cardiff 75 - Contemporary Writing from the City

Sara Hayes, Paul Jauregui, Martin Buckridge

Sinossi

'heartily recommended, and a really, really good book for dipping randomly into, as well as of excellent quality all round.' – Mab Jones, Buzz
'A big box of marvels, abuzz with distinctive voices and vivid tales. This is dazzling testament to the ability of Creative Writing groups to energise and inspire.' – Alan Bilton
'Down-to-earth at one moment, the next fantastical, humorous or heartfelt, nostalgic or raw, and yet hospitable, grounded in locality but with connections open to the wide world' – Philip Gross
Some collections serve to mark particular events or milestones, whilst others contain work of the highest quality. This collection manages both of these things, with 75 pieces of poetry, creative non-fiction, and short fiction by local writers celebrating 75 years of creative writing in this fabulous city of the arts.
Cardiff Writers' Circle was formed in 1947 and is joined here by other local writing groups, all lending their imaginations to a wide variety of styles, genres, and formats. Poignant, playful, satirical, and acutely observed, this anthology is a showcase for the fantastic talent that exists today in Cardiff, city of the dragon.

The Final Price - Chloe and Mary...

Paul Amann

This book follows straight after the first book; “Paying the Price 1”.  
Layla Turnbull, a single mother, lives with her eighteen-year-old daughter, Chloe, in an ordinary semi-detached house in North London. Chloe is taking her final exams soon and she needs a distinction in Maths to get the University place she wants. The best maths tutor in town lives just four doors down on the same street and Layla asks him to be Chloe’s tutor, but unfortunately, there's a price to pay. The tutor, Master Matchek, comes from Czechoslovakia and has an unusual system that includes spanking the students when they make mistakes or break any of his rules. Not only that, the tutor believes that the mothers are also at fault so he insists that they present themselves for the same punishment later on the same day.  
Layla agrees to the price she has to pay to make sure her daughter gets the distinction she requires. While doing the extra lessons Chloe meets Mary, another student in the class and they become firm friends, with benefits. Mary’s mother and Layla also get together and this book is about their relationships.  
Chloe had been late for her last lesson so her mother, Layla, had to receive the same punishment later on the same day, only the parent’s punishment was doubled. Layla had been in the Mall with her friend June that evening when she learnt that Chloe had been punished so she asked June to drop her off for her punishment on the way home.
