Bøger af Vera Murray

ON behalf of the Writers Anthology Group, based in the Pine Rivers district of Australia, I present our 2014 anthology, Alpha and Omega. Last year, Writers' Anthology Group (WAG) produced the popular collection Serendipity. Again we have short stories and poetry, illustrated by local artists, mainly photographers. Some writers and illustrators have been with us from volume one; others are newbies; we thank all for their contributions. Authors range from people who earn or have earned a living from writing to those being published for the first time. This year we are proud to include the winners of the inaugural Peter Campbell/ WAG Literary Awards. Paimarire Teague, a Year-11 student from Dakabin State High School, is the gold-medal winner and Tatiana Werle-Bertling, a Year-12 student, also from Dakabin State High School, won the silver medal. I commend their stories to you. This year's title Alpha and Omega has inspired a diversity of short stories and poetry. Our collective of writers and illustrators has produced a quality book without undue financial burden on any of our 20 or so writers. We acknowledge the work of our editorial panel: Bernie Dowling, Vera Murray, Anne Olsson, Lorraine Noscov, Ronald Holt and David MacLaughlin, as well as that of our cover designer/ illustrator Ken Armstrong. We warmly thank our corporate sponsors Peter Campbell of Peter Campbell Realty, based at Albany Creek and Morayfield, and Bent Banana Books of Lawnton. Now, let the adventures begin.
