Over the summer I attended a series of creative writing workshops run by author Andrew Killeen, resident writer at The Barber Institute in Birmingham. The theme explored ‘Art & Writing: The City,’ and after discussion and feedback, our final stories were presented to the group. The stories, including my own – ‘One Last Thing’, have been gathered into an anthology called ‘Cityscapes’ and shall be available December 2012.
