Welcome to WRITERS EN BLOC.

This forum was created as the online home of a new venture to provide a place for published and unpublished writers of books, short stories, poems etcetera. Monthly meetings will start in January 2009 and we hope that from these discussions and sharing of ideas more writers will realise their respective dreams!

Please take the time to visit our bookstore, which features the works of our members at www.shop.writersenbloc.com.

Warm regards,

Michael Anthony Staples has worked for more than two decades as a newspaper reporter in the province of New Brunswick, Canada. He specializes in military issues and traveled extensively with Canadian troops in the former Yugoslavia during the 1990s. He also accompanied Canadian peace keepers to Haiti during the 2004 rebellion and has written in detail on the war in Afghanistan. Staples has also worked closely with police forces and the judicial system in the coverage of criminal issues and those associated with law and order. He lives in Fredericton.

Robert Ronsson's 'Olympic Mind Games' is currently being featured in the En Bloc Bookstore.

Robert has been writing full time since 2005. He finished his first novel that year - thirty years after starting it. It was shortlisted in the Yeovil Literary Prize but remains unpublished.

He self-published his second novel - this one for children - in 2007. It is called 'Olympic Mind Games'. It was long-listed for the AC Black Novel Competition and has since sold approaching 9000 copies in the UK and USA.

The draft submission package for his current project 'The Spaniard's Wife' was short-listed for the Impress Prize for New Writers and long-listed for the 'wannabe a writer' New Novel Competition. Robert hopes to comp

In 2008, he had three pieces published in the Academy’s anthology 'Finding a Voice'. His short stories have won three national competitions and been runners-up or highly-commended six times.
