Three fellow writers and myself, all
Edinburgh based, have set up a website together. Appropriately, we call
ourselves Capital Writers.
And to give you a flavour of our writing we have
produced an anthology, Capital Stories,
one story from each of us.
The
stories in the anthology are arranged chronologically and are set in Edinburgh, from Regency times to the
present day:
A Close Encounter
Anne Stenhouse
Afternoon
Tea with Angelica
Jennifer Young
The
Letter
Jane Riddell
An
Ordinary Joe
Kate Blackadder
Apart
from being writers living in Edinburgh we have something else in common. None
of us were born in Scotland’s capital city but we have come to live in it at
different times and for different reasons – and we love it.
We
have each posted on the website an account of how we came to be here. This is
mine, a tale that encompasses the murder of Rizzio, a horde of mice, and a name
on a telephone list …
Anne,
Jane, Jennifer and I propose to blog about things that interest us, to tell of
the delights of Edinburgh including its past and present literary heritage (and
promote our books along the way … )
We
are looking forward to that and hope that you will travel virtually from
wherever you are to join us …
