Bad weather forces a young couple to take an enforced rest day on their skiing holiday. Snowed in with them, are the large, noisy Russian family who share their hotel. A lost wedding ring, an innocent child and a little happenstance, melts away a wall of prejudice and misunderstanding.

Everyone has a book in them, don't they?Words Don't Come Easy is an anthology of Flash Fiction written by four enthusiastic writers who are all at different stages of their writing careers. They came together to form a writers' group to encourage and support each other, with the aim of developing and improving their writing skills. Before each meeting, they all produce a piece of Flash Fiction based on a randomly selected prompt and their work is read aloud and critiqued on the night. This book contains the entire outputs of this exercise in the first three years since the group's foundation.These stories have not been edited and are published exactly as they were written at the time so that you can witness each writer's individual development journey. They serve as a "warts and all" illustration of their work, which will hopefully inspire you and challenge you to improve on their offerings.Like them, you may also find that "Words Don't Come Easy", but writing is pure joy.
