Welcome to the 8th accomplishment of the Penny Authors' Anthology. The previous anthologies have laid and built a strong pathway for grass roots writers to take their maiden step to get their work championed in the national and global theatre of the written words.

The experiences that are captured in the anthology are colourful and the times that they’ve happened give it the flavour. PA wants to give to the world, the world within and show the abundances of our lives. We all ride, “the ride of life” from different points, perspectives, spectrum, but all travel to the heart, the centre of “what life is to Penny Authors”.

The collections in these books you will feel and experience experiences that will take you in and out, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. All you have to do is allow yourself get on a ride that will become a merry-go-round then may turn to a roller coaster, it will take you through life of all ages and some be it familiar experiences and occurrences, to some out of this world or weird and something wonderful.

This is the ninth instalment of the "Book of Lived," that lets you live life along with yours. If you would like to get involved then email [email protected].

We at Penny Authors like to recognise, remind and remember all the Penny Authors that have taken part, past always and present and you can find the full list in the books and now we have our website where all poets published through PA have their own profile page, thus achieving our original goal. The following list is to introduce the newcomers who are featured in this volume are now listed on line. They bring with them refreshing and unique life they've lived for us to read, enjoy and experience; each to their own take. The newcomers are listed on the “Roll Call”:
