hoc magis accepta fallit uterque fide.
non impune feres: sciet haec insana puella

et tibi non tacitis uocibus hostis erit;

et bibere e tota toxica Thessalia.

molliter irasci non solet illa tibi.
quod si forte tuis non

Alex Martin - Love and Loss and the Perils of War
FEATURED AUTHOR - 'The Plotting Shed' (see her blog http://www.intheplottingshed.com/) was Alex Martin's first writing space at the bottom of her Welsh garden. Now she splits her time between Wales and France and plot wherever she is. She still wanders aimlessly in the countryside with her dog and her dreams and she can still be found typing away with imaginary friends whispering in her ear, but these days she has the joy of seeing her stories published and the treasured feedback from readers who've enjoyed them.
