Stories and information
TSFG members
Here I try and list all members of the group since its beginnings in 1983. I could well have missed someone out - let me know. Also if you want your name removed let me know. I hope to add details and links (where they exist) next to names as and when....

Stuart Crees a founder member of TSFG, he has a story in all of the TSFG anthologies. He died in 2005. A selection of his prose was published by the group in 2009. Here's the cover:
Mary Cutler - Mary Cutler's day job is being a script writer for the Archers which she joined in 1979 making her the longest serving writer on the current team. She has also dramatised four of Lindsey Davis's Roman detective novels for Radio Four and three of her own series 'Three Women and a...' (3 Women in a Boat; 3 Women and a Wedding etc) for Women's Hour. She was a member of the Tindal Fiction group in the late eighties and had a short story published in the View from Tindal Street. She still maintains her links with Tindal as a member of the Tindal Press Editorial Board.
Godfrey Featherstone - was in the group from its early days, died in 2005. A booklet of work by him and about him has been published by the group. Called 'and maybe do a dance or two' it was edited by Myra Connell. His story can be read on Laura Hird's site.
Clare left the group last century to go and live in Devon, where she
leads a busy and creative life. Since taking early retirement, she
has written many short stories, some of which have won prizes, and
written about a dozen plays, most of which have been performed. This
year, she won a couple of second prizes for poetry and first prize
(1,500 euros) in the the Fish/Historical Novel Association short
story competition. Apart from writing the Great Novel, her remaining
ambition is to win the Bridport, which she fails to do every year.
