Dining on Words by the Yorkshire Writers' Lunch

After nearly two years of weekly lunching and blogging, we decided to publish the fruits of our labours in printed form. There’s something so much more satisfying about an actual book, rather than a webpage, isn't there?

So here is Dining on WORDS, a veritable smorgasbord of poetry, short stories, flash fiction, travel tales and comment. There are even three collaborative pieces, where we each contributed a portion of the story to the overall dish. Something of an experiment, certainly, but hopefully not a case of too many cooks!

Just click on the cover to go to Amazon. Bon appétit!

"...if you fancy a taste of different styles of writing, covering almost every topic under the sun, you will enjoy this. The book looks and feels nice too."

"...a very skilled group of writers, every single one is engaging. I feel I have been on those trips, had my heart turned over by the poetry, pondered on the questions raised. You only have to pick up the book to know that its content is worth it's weight and production."


Harry Vos, a retired man in his 60's and a part-time private investigator, is on holiday on the Belgian coast. When he takes an early morning stroll along the local beach he and a woman walking her dog are shocked to discover a body washed up on the shore. Unable to get a signal on his phone Harry hurries to a bar on the other side of the sand dunes, to call the police. By the time he returns to the beach, he finds the body, the woman and the dog have all disappeared.

"The story kept me turning the pages as I got to know Harry, his nephew Ryck, and the various women in Harry's life - including a truly frightful daughter. The mystery at the heart of the story is slowly and satisfyingly revealed thanks to our Harry's almost reckless persistence. I'm a big fan already."

Imagination is a wonderful gift, transporting us wherever we wish to go - the past - the future - or into a fantasy world of our own where anything can happen. 

Yet it also has a darker side, running riots with our thoughts - taking control. Twisting and turning deep within our minds until we have no choice but to step into the unknown.
