The photos for our Fiction Night at Five Leaves Bookshop are here! Thanks to all that came along and those that performed, it was a great night! Also a big thank you for everyone at Five Leaves for letting us take over for the night 🙂
Twisted Tongues 5 Photos
Twisted Tongues ran a spectacular event Tuesday night, we wish we took more photos but Kristian, who provided these photos, forgot his camera and took these from his phone. Conveniently, photos of himself reading (The Enigma of Thornwood) were never taken…but anyway!
The open mic was stocked full of talented writers, and whether you’re a poet or a fiction writer (maybe you dabble in both) it’s well worth making the trip to Derby and reading at the next Twisted Tongues event!
There’s another Twisted Tongues next month 🙂 Be sure to Follow them on Twitter and/or Like them on Facebook to keep up-to-date with all their latest news and events.

Kristina Adams read ‘Portait of my Nan as an Armchair’, ‘Domestic Bliss’ and ‘Hypoglycaemia’.
Despite how it looks in this photos, she did not break out into song.
She only does that around Christmas time.
Group photo!
He’s a cheeky one, that Rory.
He didn’t actually pour it. Luckily.
Totally Wired photos coming soon!
Impromptu reunion at Totally Wired last night featuring a cheeky Rory! More photos coming as soon as Kristina and her camera get along again.

The Highlights of 2014
2014 was a year of challenges and successes.
From January to September the Restless Minds team worked tirelessly to establish the anthology!
09/10/2014 – We had our book launch! (Check out the videos Part 1, 2, 3, 4). We even sold out on the night, a feat never achieved by any MA anthology before!
18/10/2014 – Along came Nottingham Festival of Words where we organised our second print run!
31/10/2014 – For Halloween the Restless Minds Team had many creative treats for all:
12/11/2014 – Kicking off Jazz & Poetry Night, with Four in the Bar, Mathew Sweeney and Cathy Grindrod, was a lot of fun!
29/11/2014 – Many members of the Restless Minds team graduated from Nottingham Trent University!
11/12/2014 – Restless Minds was invited to Speak Your Mind #2 (run by Dagda Publishing). Check out the videos (Part 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 ,6).
Then winter came and left but not without some holiday themed treats.
You’ve seen our many faces and listened to what we’ve had to say.
But most importantly you’ve bought our book, read our creative pieces, and supported us throughout.
