It is with great sadness that we have to announce the deaths of two long-time members of our writing group. As a founder member, Steve Goldblatt contributed hugely to its ethos and success. His wit, enthusiasm and pertinent, pithy comments were always a delight, as were his rare but hilarious written descriptions of his life. Steve died suddenly in Spain. In the same week, we heard that veteran member Jim Moeller had died after a long illness. His was a life devoted to literature, both as a teacher and as a skilled and subtle writer of long and short-form fiction. Listening to Jim read his work in his gentle, wry, American voice was one of the great pleasures of belonging to the group. We shall miss them both hugely. You can listen to Graham Bruce Fletcher’s interview with Jim about his life and work here.

Thank you for letting me know. Th
