I remember Josephine, these days we call her Jo’
Though it was Mrs Cowell then, so very long ago
We were The Ormskirk Writer’s Club,
Met in a café, shilling sub
So genteel and polite.
‘Twas Mrs A. and Mr. B With courteous formality.
Nowadays days we still meet... When?
Each month’s first and third Monday night
From half past seven until ten,
Please won’t you come and meet us then
In Church house rooms upon the site
Of Ormskirk Church? We’ll help you write.

Liz Wilkinson'a Review of the Novel A Kind of Intimacy by Jenn Ashworth
A Kind of Intimacy by Jenn Ashworth
I was really excited when I decided to do a review on this book and then I started to worry. What if I didn’t like it and after all Jenn knows where I live, so it was with some trepidation that I opened the book and started to read, and read and read. This was a very easy book to read, the writer draws you in by allowing you to feel sympathy for the main character Annie and it is with a morbid curiosity that you want to know what happens next and then next. By the time I had worked out that all was not what it seemed I was near the end of the book and in my mind I was shouting NO! STOP! DON’T! and had switched my alliance to other characters.
Jenn writes with a maturity far beyond her years, she has a great insight into the human character and is able to keep your attention focused. I read this book as a night-time read so I had no interruptions and I savoured my time with it. At no time did I start to nod off as so often happens when you take a book to bed and the only disappointment I had was that I haven’t got anything to follow it. I look forward to her new novel with great anticipation!!
