Short Story Competition 4
As part of the Fresh Fiction: Change, Renewal, Rebirth, Food or Farming writing challenge run by Novel Nights, which was supported by Take Art Somerset, my short story Gustatio was selected to be read out in April at The David Hall arts centre in South Petherton. Inspired by a visit to the Roman villa at The Newt in Somerset, the story is set at a dinner among supporters of Carausius, the army officer who set himself up as emperor in Britain in AD 286.
