Admission free
No booking required
Eighteen new poems and ten new short stories from sixteen on-form members of the
Lemon Tree Writers comprise this stimulating and very varied anthology. The event
features Dirty Duncin, the hilarious new short story in the Doric by Morag
Skene, and a variety of other prose pieces and poems from the anthology read by
their authors.

Morag Skene is a North-East quine and is passionate about the arts. As part
of her work as a carer she directs the Willowbank All Stars and Showtime
groups and spends her free time involved with the Lemon Tree Writers,
Wordfringe Festival Players, WAC (Writers and Actors Collaboration),
Cruden Bay Panto, or doing the odd bit of Aiberdeen writing, as she calls it, and
singing.

Michel Dudropt was born in France and worked in West Africa as a photographer,
then moved to North-East Scotland and worked offshore as a sub-sea engineer. He
now lives in Aberdeen writing plays, short stories, and sitcoms.

|
Cal Wallace bakes quirky, twisted stories, peppered with diverse ingredients
from the back pantry of his mind. A long-standing member of the Lemon Tree Writers,
he has appeared at many literary events in the North-East and at Shetland Wordplay.
He has had two monologues performed at Wordfringe events, and has been published
in magazines and online.
