First off, I want to wish Lorrie all the very best and say thanks to her. Last Tuesday was sad as it was the last time she was able to come to my writing group for a good while; work commitments and all that.
She’ll be missed. Sorely. And I know not just by me. She’s a terrific writer and her comments were always astute, informed and hugely helpful. All the best Lorrie, and a great big thanks.

Secondly, and this is in no order, HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to terrifically talented Tania – her debut short story collection is officially out! The book has its own website here.
I can’t wait to read it. (Oh, and watch this space for an interview with the author herself…)

And this has just popped into my inbox from another terrific writer, Oonah:

The Pasture I’m going out to clean the pasture spring; I’ll only stop to rake the leaves away (And wait to watch the water clear, I may); I Shan’t be gone long.— You come too. I’m going out to fetch the little calf That’s standing by the mother. It’s so young It totters when she licks it with her tongue. I shan’t be gone long.— You come too. ———-by runescape money
