A busy week, and a new short story published.

Well, I have spent most of my spare time reading "Charcoal", editing, reading again, making little changes here and there.  And I am pleased to say that I am on track to have the novel ready for publication by the end of the month, as planned.

Meanwhile, I submitted a short story to "Cake", a new Manchester-based publication. I am pleased to report they accepted my submission and have included in their June edition.

You can read it on their website at:

If you are out and about in Manchester, look out for a print copy, as they distribute the publication at Portico Library, Nexus Art Cafe and the Tea Hive.

CAKE have a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/cakeshortandsweet and a Twitter feed @cakeshortnsweet

In other news, depending on the weather, I may be venturing forth to Holmfirth Arts Festival over the weekend.  There is a "poetry busking" area, which sounds like an excellent outlet! 

Of course, there are lots of other events going on down there, so if you are anywhere nearby, then check out the website: http://www.holmfirthartsfestival.co.uk/
