Some friends of mine from my church back at home run a writing club from a bar in Southsea, Portsmouth.

Rosie’s wine bar in Portsmouth is a well known place often for live music.

When I was back in the UK during Christmas, I wrote a story for this event on a fictional Roman couple on holiday in the Middle East.   Its short – the rules state it should be under 5 minutes when I stood up to read.

Here it is, if you’d like to read it:-

If you would like to write or just listen to locally produced short fiction in a small friendly group, please visit Write Invite here:-

The competitions are done in Portsmouth, but you can also do them online anywhere in the world.
