Pictures Within Words

The electrifying Authors Electric have generously provided J.S.Watts with a guest spot in which she can write about anything she chooses (as long as it's about writing). She's chosen to talk about painting and visual art!

If you want to find out what she had to say on the subject, particularly in relation to her new poetry collection, "Years Ago You Coloured Me" and her novel, "A Darker Moon", click here

Ink Stains On My Pillow

Death. A permanent end. Termination of life. Some embrace death as if reuniting with a long-missing old friend. Others fear it, try to outwit it, hide from it. And then there are those who are fascinated by it, mesmerized by it, chasing it down, taunting it, challenging it. In Ink Stains, Volume 1, eight authors explore death in all its facets in a collection of short stories that range from fantastical to gritty to supernaturally creepy. Join them in a journey through the darker side of fiction. Ink Stains, Volume 1 features stories by Michelle K. Bujnowski , Eddie Cantrell, John S. McFarland, Steph Minns, A. O’Neal Tamela J. Ritter, Aaron Vlek, and J. S. Watts

Ink Stains is a new dark fiction literary anthology from Dark Alley Press. Available in paperback and kindle editions.

Allographic Featuring J.S.Watts

Just a reminder that Allographic will be playing host to J.S.Watts this coming Sunday, 27th March, for the unofficial pre-launch of her latest book, along with a chance to hear her mesmerising voice performing some of her work in person.

So, what’s Allographic Open Mic then? It’s a simple concept really - a nice function room at the top of a pleasant bistro (CB2 in Cambridge); a stage, a microphone, a bunch of lovely people, and some words. And free snacks! Entry is free, but they take a donation (i.e. pay as you like). Doors are at 6:30pm and the gig kicks off at 7pm.

Bring your poems, stories, dramatic monologues (or duologues!), improv, hip hop, and anything else that fits the bill of spoken word. At 2pm there'll be a workshop on exploring surrealism in your poetry ("What does your writing taste like?") with Emma Ormond: https://www.facebook.com/events/1584929518492280/

The main event starts at 7pm and the venue is CB2 Bistro, Norfolk Street, Cambridge, CB1 2LD.
