Photographs make no sound. They are flat and silent, yet they trigger memories, thoughts, and emotions that last a lifetime. The Hertfordshire Writing Group has captured the essence of photographs, whether they be nostalgic, romantic, or dramatic. Each photograph is a story, a fragment of a life lived. A moment of time, frozen in time. A spinster reveals that her life hasn't been as loveless as everyone thought. A naïve photographer captures the absurd brutality of the Vietnam War. A model's descent into darkness after a photography session at sea. A girl. An attic. One mystery. Six photographs. A way out? Two men. One secret. A photograph that seems to know. A kidnapped woman has to photograph a dangerous cybertronic creature in order to win back her freedom from a greedy ruler. From historical fiction to science fiction, mystery to romance, these unforgettable stories will linger with you long after you finish the last page.
