Short story success

Delighted to report I've just sold a short story to Woman's Weekly entitled Closure. I am so pleased about that one. It's always a thrill.

So glad to be back

For the past few days I have been unable to get in to post. I kept being told the URL was too large, so it's great to be back and posting again. The article about the RNA in the Daily Mail on Saturday has caused quite a furore. Still all publicity is good I think and the RNA is big enough to take anything on the chin.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that air stewardesses wear support tights and they are usually glamorous females aren't they?

Anyway great to be back.

E publisher

I've just received my contract for my first ebook. It's due to be published at the end of March 2011 so it looks like I'm up and running.
