New tree article in the Hastings Online Times - this one is about the bay tree. Mmmm. Check it out using the link on my 'more about my work' page.

My story, You Think You're so Bloody Special, just made the shortlist of January's Writers' Forum magazine.

My winning story, This Isn't Who I Am, just got published in January edition of Writers' Forum magazine. Read a review of it on the reviews page of publications.

Dryrobe didn't make the top 3, in Writers' Forum, but it did win Hastings Writing Group's Catherine Cookson cup. I've never won a cup before, so I'm delighted.
