Emma Dewhurst
Emma Dewhurst is an actress, teacher, mother and writer. She has written for as long as she can remember, but only recently began to send her words out into the world, encouraged by the comments received on her blog, an on-line journal begun in 2006 to keep her creative sanity after the birth of her daughter. Emma is currently attending the year-long KMOCN Creative Writing course in Rochester, Kent. ‘Velcro’ is her first professional publication.

The Woman with a Coffee Pot opposite me is so ugly with her work-a-day blue dress. Without rest I have to stare into her large, thick, round face, so like my own mother: the stern gaze, the bulbous nose. She is admired. Cezanne kept her. I am a working girl fresh from the fields, so blotted out.
‘You are the invisible form of my composition,’ he said.
– Extract from ‘Imagine Coal’ by Mary Cookson
Imagine Coal and More Micro-Fiction contains the winning entries from Leaf Books’ second micro-fiction competition of 2007. The thirty-one tiny fragments of wonderfulness within very concisely discourse on a fantastic variety of subjects, from artists’ models to attempted matricide via alien invasions, dancing GIs and elderly men with aphasia.
