The Beachcomber

I've a short story in The People's Friend Fiction Special No. 125 which has gone on sale today (Weds 22 June 2016). 

The title of my story when I wrote it was The Beachcomber, but as with these things, the title has been changed to best fit the magazine.  

When one of my short stories has been accepted by a publication I  do a little dance, punch the air, that kind of thing.  Then I wave it goodbye and crack on writing the next one.

If you'd like to read my story, it's out today - and has been titled A Romantic Proposal.

As Ione of my characters in my novel makes proggy mats, I could have read about how to make them or even watched on YouTube, I wanted to discover for myself what the process felt like, smelt like, sounded like. And so I booked myself on to a workshop at Beamish Museum, a place I love to visit. There were six of us on the proggy mat workshop...
