A mug of milky coffee
Her facial expression was one of radiance, as she proudly pushed the
buggy along the pavement in the High Street. She paused, gazed in through the
window of the Early Learning Centre, enthralled as much by the decorations, as
she was by the goods displayed. Smoothing her skirt and pulling around her the
worn blue duffle coat, she continued her journey. Regulars smiled as they

About the Author
Having spent the best part of thirty-five years writing reports on such
subjects as ‘Provision of Caravan Sites for Travellers’ and ’Aspects of Pest
Control in the Urban Environment’, Roger Noons began even more creative writing
in 2006, when he completed a screenplay for a friend who is an amateur film
maker. After the film was made, he wrote further scripts and having become
addicted, began to pen short stories and poems. He occasionally produces
memoirs and other non-fiction. He has begun to perform his poems, and has just
published ’An A to Z by RLN’, an anthology of 26 short stories. He intends by
the end of the year to have followed that up with a novella.
He is a member of two Writers Groups and tries his hardest to write
something every day. As well as CaféLit, he has had credits in West Midlands
newspapers, The Daily Telegraph, Paragraph Planet, Raw Edge and a number of
Anthologies.
Roger is a regular contributor to the CaféLit site and a couple of his
stories have been selected for the Best of CaféLit 2012.
