A Pride of Poppies interview series – Adam Fitzroy
Art by Nikki Gulley
This is the first of a series of interviews with the authors who contributed stories to the Manifold Press anthology, A Pride of Poppies.
My first guest is Adam Fitzroy.
What inspired you to write your story for the anthology?
I know very little about military matters so it was obvious I wasn’t going to be writing anything technical with a battlefield setting. Much of my family history revolves around a particular small English village (in Suffolk, as it happens), and I st...

Matchmaking
Have you ever been set up on a blind date? If you were and enjoyed yourself, chances are the matchmaker knew you and your date really well. Finding a new author to your liking is a bit like a blind date. You pick up their book and hold high hopes for an evening spent in a delightful company. Sometimes the hopes come true. Sometimes they don’t.
To avoid the latter in our case, let’s see without more ado, if I can entertain you with stories to your taste. If we find out that we’re a...

Push Back
Sometimes even the calmest of people get annoyed and that has happened recently in the LGBTTAQI fiction community. The news that a family run pizza business has received over a million $ from like minded bigots after being criticised for refusing to serve LGBTTAQI customers was so startling, infuriating and ridiculous, that several writers had a chat and decided to put their ire to good use. Invitations were issued, word spread and the initial group were soon joined by writers bloggers, desig...

It’s always great to see a new book from Sue Brown and I’ve been anticipating this one – the next in the Little Mowbury series Left at the Crossroads.
Here’s the blurb:

Saturday Recommendation
I hope you were all able to take advantage of this weird and wonderful weather. Being able to stroll around outside in a tee shirt in April has been a real treat but today the lazy wind is blowing and we’re all glad we haven’t put our winter woolies away.
So if you’re chilly and have decided to stay inside it might be a good idea to have something to read, yes? And so it might be an idea if I posted a recommendation.
Right then. This is a book I bought some time ago but managed to lose in th...
