As a native Aberdonian, Mark Pithie has observed and chronicled the constantly
changing face of the city and its people.
The poems he has written reflect this, interwoven with his personal reminiscences
of yesteryear.
Mark's work has appeared in numerous small press magazines and websites, most recently
in Kelly's Cats with the Lemon Tree Writers. He read his poem Cutting It
at the May Day Workers Rally at the Castlegate and appeared in this year's Word
Festival.

E. E. Chandler is native to Aberdeen. Fairly new to the writing scene,
she is working on her first collection of poems and trying out short stories. She
writes to remember and reads to forget. Favourite themes include unfamiliar places,
madness, and failing relationships (sometimes all together).
Her poetry is featured in Shades of Time, the latest collection from Lemon
Tree Writers.

|
Morna Annandale lives and works in Aberdeen. She spent her childhood in Montrose
and her poems are often inspired by the history and landscape of that area, in particular
the village of Ferryden.
