Celebrating the achievements of the collaborative efforts of Bunbury Writers Group.
Two of the anthologies listed below are available for purchase.

01
Death, Despair & Other Happy Endings
The inaugural anthology of Short Stories, Plays, Poems and Flash Fiction from the collective hive-mind of the Bunbury Writers Group. Inspired by their South West Australian surroundings, but drawing from their multi-cultural backgrounds and mixture of places they once called home, these stories in all their formats range from a scary fairy who likes Halloween to the joys of a Mother's embrace. From the despair of a broken heart, to the delights of a new found love and from the dark recesses of a killer's mind to the happiness in a turtle staying its course. So dip in or read from cover to cover and explore the funny, sad, light, dark, but always inventive mix that is Death, Despair and other Happy Endings.
02
Pandemic Prose
A collection of work by the members of Bunbury Writers Group, gifted to Mark McGowan, Premier of Western Australia, for his leadership during the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020.
This book is not for sale but can be viewed in the West Australian State Libray's Covid-19 collection

Happy Disenchantment Day
Short stories of hapless holidays
From Christmas Cake to Pumpkin Pie we are told Holidays are meant to be festive, fun, and frivolous.
But often they turn out to be far from idyllic.
This collection of short stories from the Bunbury Writers Group captures the turmoil, trouble, and occasional terror of those hapless holidays that befall the unwary.
Enjoy the tales and raise a toast to
Happy Disenchantment Day.
