Dance or Drown is the first anthology by Daylesford Writers - current and former students of Mark Dickenson's local storytelling class, the Story Suite. Whether your passion is domestic misadventures, dystopian futures, rural romances or divine awakenings, you'll find that and lots more in our bite-sized chunks of fast fiction, stunning short stories, poetry, and what, there's a play in here too? Madness. This collection contains tales from Shelley Sandow, Anna Irwin-Schutze and Mark Dickenson, classic stories from Michelle Pleasance and Claire Kavanagh, and special new pieces from Susi Fox (author of the bestselling Mine) and award-winning writer, Kristin Silk. Dance or Drown is a rollercoaster of humour, heartbreak, emotion and insight.
