Exciting News!

You may remember a little while ago I publicised the UK GBLT fiction meet in Milton Keynes on the 23rd July.  There are still some spaces for this if there are any Brits out there who haven't booked yet.  The website is here if you are interested.

Anyway, to celebrate this marvellous day out for us all, the powers that be decided to put together two anthologies of stories with a unique British flavour.  One is a free flash fiction anthology called British Flash which contains a set of 1,000 word stories with contributions from Alex Beecroft, Stevie Carroll, Charlie Cochrane, Erastes, Elin Gregory, Sandra Lindsey, Clare London, JL Merrow, Josephine Myles, Zahra Owens, Caroline Stephens, Lisa Worrall and Serena Yates.  It's going to be published as an ebook only and will be available from the 16th June.

I love this cover!

The other anthology is called Tea and Crumpet (no cover as yet) and is going to be sold to raise funds for future UK meets. It's made up of longer stories with contributions from: Alex Beecroft, Stevie Carroll, Jennie Caldwell, Charlie Cochrane, Elin Gregory, Clare London, Anna Marie May, JL Merrow, Josephine Myles, Zahra Owens, Jay Rookwood, Chris Smith, Lisa Worrall, Serena Yates - and possibly more!

Here's the exciting bit of news. One of those authors is me!

To be honest, I'm not quite sure how this happened, other than the meet organisers sent out a call for anyone to submit stories and even encouraged us readers to have a go. It seems that I passed muster and so my story has been included. It's called Sweet Temptation and is about a chance meeting in a churchyard.  The anthology will be published by JMS books as an ebook on the 3rd July and a print copy will be available by the end of July.

So there you go. For a very brief amount of time I'm going to be a proper author.  Now, can you guess my pen-name?  It's not too difficult, I think.
