July 2026

It's been a bit quiet lately, maybe because the weather has been unseasonably hot? Nobody wants to sit in a stuffy room typing on a beautiful day do they?

Well, some people do (thank goodness!), and it's those people's work that you will find here in the July edition of Winamop.

Before we get to it I must inform you that Gary Beck has a new book out at Amazon (I think they'll do well..) it's called After the Long Sleep and it's published by Cyberwit.

That's it, let's go!

 

it says "stories"

Andrew Lee-Hart brings us an unsettling tale of a future dystopian society where it's not safe to speak out. Here we find Vicky trying to contact her old friend Cat.

Tony Dawson introduces us to Brittany who has recently made some changes in her life.. for the better! It's called HRT.

KJ Hannah Greenberg. Dorothy is in trouble.. double trouble! How will she cope, how will Chet cope? With difficulty probably. Read Twins and see.

it says "ART"

Frucht-Schleifen brings us a 20 minute piece of ambient music called Jupiter from his album "The Gas Giants". It's based on the sounds that emanate from Jupiter as captured by NASA.

KJ Hannah Greenberg brings us another three intriguing poems today. They are Word Sappers - Bicycle Monarchs and Blep.

Terry Brinkman is ever reliable and he has more poems for us. They are: Chalk Scrolled - In The Distance - Dad's Boat - Olivet's Weed - Type-writer Royal and Time For Walking.

Well, that's it for the summer edition. I guess it'll be feeling autumnal by the time we return?

Come back and see won't you..

Winamop was conceived on a whim, is run on a shoestring, ignored by the many, loved by the few and has continued unabashed since 2003.

All human life is here, experienced people, skilled writers and rank amateurs, sometimes they hit the mark, sometimes they belly-flop (sometimes they mix their metaphors). You pick up the pieces and make of them what you will. Find out about us here and about the site here.The contributor's guidelines are here and the e-mail button is below.

We hope to continue to maintain a showcase for new writing which will grow as you, dear readers, augment the efforts of the in-house team. We have over 800 unique pages so far but, quite frankly, we need more...

Have a good look around and if you feel that you'd like to contribute in any genre, then don't be shy, send it in! The copyright remains yours, and you could win a mop (unlikely, as I've run out).

Jump straight to a category using the buttons at the top of the page, they work from any page. Remember, it's all free and is made from 100% natural ingredients!

By the way, we use a cookie to record your page ratings, if you don't rate a page you won't get one!
