The curious drive to put finger to stylus, quill, steel pen, fountain pen, Biro, keyboard and word processor has driven us from cave and rock face to high speed internet over the passage of tens of thousands of years. We take from our minds, put to 'paper' so that other minds can be touched.
Our aim is to encourage writing for pleasure and occasional profit.
'Everyone has a book in them.' (Anon)
