‘Sweet As’ Contemporary Short Stories by New Zealanders

‘Sweet As’ is an anthology of 29 short stories by New Zealand writers.

As the editors say in their introduction, ‘…the stories in this collection are not all ‘sweet’ in the traditional sense.’ Yes, New Zealand also has a dark side. Both light and dark are shown to great effect in this anthology, with a variety of thought provoking and entertaining stories. I’d be surprised if you didn’t recognise some of the contributors who include past Katherine Mansfield winners, members of the NZSA, published authors and graduates of the International Institute of Modern Letters at Victoria.

Contributors include: Kate Mahony, Linda Bennett, Gay Buckingham, Celia Coyne, Janis Freegard, Lilla Csorgo, Anahera Gildea, Vivienne Joseph, Wes Lee, Vivienne Ball, Jo Randerson, Rachel Marr, David Mason, Frances Cherry, Rebecca Styles, Lawrence Patchett, Kay Meyer, Wendy Moore, Janet Nixon, Margaret Orange, Debbie Newlove, Deb Potter, Blair Polly, B.L. Stocker, Holly Painter, Maggie Rainey-Smith, Kathy Sewell, Paula Slack and Brindi Joy.

Published by: The ‘Sweet As’ Book Project (with all proceeds to the IHC).

Edited by: Blair Polly & Wendy Moore.

Launch Date 4^th Nov 2014 5.30 pm at: The Grand, Courtenay Place, Wellington. All welcome.
