That’s Life!
I’ve been told my story ‘Hairy Situation’ is in the current issue of That’s Life Fast Fiction. Sadly we
can’t get the magazine over here. That’s a real shame as I love to see the illustrations used and see how they compare with the images in my head as I was writing.
Famous Names.
My short story Famous Names is now available to download from the Alfie Dog Fiction website, priced 39p.
I like all my characters, even the bad guys, while I’m writing them (maybe especially the bad guys!) but I don’t often return to them. An exception might have to be made for Edna Montgomery though. As her son says, Edna understands the same things most other people do. She just understands in a different way. I’m sure I can find space in a novel for someone like that.
Trophy triumph.
This is our writin
g group’s trophy for the annual short story competition. It’s silver, was first presented in 1983 and this year for the first time, I’ve won it!
Obviously I’m pleased and not just because it’s shiny and pretty (although that’s reason enough). Some great writers have their names engraved on it, including June Hampson who was my tutor when I first decided to have a go at creative writing.
A winner!
My story ‘The Perfect Line’ is the winner in the May issue of Writing Magazine.
Welcome!
Thanks for visting my new website. I’ll be gradually populating it over the next few weeks. Yay! Another form of procrastination from the writing!
