***WARNING***NOT LONG TO GO***

Just to remind all fans that my first published fiction piece "What the Dog Brought in" will not be available on line for much longer. Alienskin will soon have their June/July edition out, and they no longer archive.



I will of course have the story available on my website once its up and running, but until then, time is running out...

CALLING A SPADE A SPADE...

Last night I went to a networking session, in the hopes really of getting a job (didn't quite manage that). However, I was under instruction to call myself a writer, not merely "unemployed".

So I did.

It was hard the first time - I stumbled and stuttered but buoyed up by the thought of my publications to date, managed to get it out. It became easier as the night went on. I also called myself an IT trainer (qualified as one, just have to get the official experience!).

Need to work more on my business cards, include the blog, and perhaps set up a proper website.

LILY

M niece Lily at 9 months old - she came to visit us at the weekend (accompanied by her parents, of course!)

APOLLO'S LYRE

Another wonderful ezine!

You will be able to see my micro-fiction piece "Last" in their August edition.

Don't forget to weatch out for Inkpot's "Sky Horse" in their May edition!

CONGRATULATIONS, INKPOT!

Congrats to Inkpot, who is going to be in an anthology very soon!

Great news - keep those acceptances coming!

RUBY

Here is a photo of Ruby, newest member of the family:

Isn't he very cute?

IRREGULR POSTING

For a while it was great fun to post - every week brought more exciting news for the DNs, publishing success or t-shirts. However the last ten days have only brought rejections (for me anyway). Not that I mind that - every writer gets rejection. It's just after broadcasting a run of successes, it's not the same talking about the bad news.

On the good news front, Mirpot has got herself a dog - a six month old border collie called Ruby. I hear he's lovely, but quite nervous (I hope his past experiences were not too awful).

I'm looking forward to meeting him.
