Just thought I needed a wee update on things. First off my novel is due for publication in June now - that's next month! Cover has been sorted and I am very pleased with it. Launch details are a bit blurry just at the moment because we are looking at some pretty big options and waiting to hear back... but it will be available in June. More on this soon.
Not been doing too many competitions recently. Fewer than 1 a month and sometimes not at all. However I was commended in The Neil GunnShort Story Competition (last time was second and the time before was first - but it is still good to be commended).
Got a story published in Lakeview International which is such a thrill.
Got nine pieces up on Visual Verse now. It's fun to be fed a monthly prompt to play with.
Just read an article on the Holocaust exhibition in New York. Very interesting. Wish I was more jet-setting - I'd go there in heartbeat. With all the current anti-semitism and racism, it is a timely reminder of what we should never forget. I once wrote a novel with another writer that touched on this topic with particular reference to Theresienstadt (Terezin). It's a shame that we can't agree, this writer and I, because I think the novel would add to the cause in a positive way because it is filled with compassion and love. Maybe something to work on for the future.
