Other writing news
Earlier in the year I was fortunate to be commended in the Gloucestershire Writers Network annual short story competition. My story, Carriers of Grief, is included in their 2021 anthology, Signposts. Take a look here if you'd like to support GWN and treat yourself at the same time.
At the end of October I spent a wonderful hour with Mitcheldean Library's book club talking about and reading from Keepers. As everyone there bought a copy, it seems they enjoyed it too. But I was pretty thrilled to receive this message from the convenor:
I thought you might like to know that one member read your book the next day and said how good it was and she couldn’t put it down so finished it the same afternoon.
I'm always available for book clubs and the like! Virtual or face to face locally.
Editing is getting there
EditingThe High Alps of Asfarlon is moving forward in fits and starts (I get distracted by things like bookshops). I will work harder as would still love to have it out by Christmas. Also, I'd like to get back to my other project tentatively named Meadowsweet, and set here along the banks of the Severn. A bit of magical realism.
A real highlight this month so far was taking part in the Forest Authors Festival - read on.
