I'm very chuffed today - a (very!) short story I wrote has been published in Homepages, the proceeds of which are going to a worthy charity. Here's what the organiser, editor, proofreader and all-round Superwoman Catherine Brodigan has to say about it:
Homepages is a unique collection of stories and photographs, the first of its kind in Ireland. The nation's best bloggers hold forth on the theme of "home", covering everything from pets and expat life to parenting and the Kellogg's Variety Pack. By turns hilarious, heartbreaking and thought-provoking, it promises a captivating read and showcases some of Ireland's best undiscovered writing talent. All proceeds from the sale of each book, compiled on an entirely voluntary basis, go directly to Focus Ireland, who provide services and support for people who are homeless across Ireland.
The book is now on sale for €14 via Lulu on a print-on-demand basis. You can order your copy here.
In other news I haven't been blogging because I'm trying to finish my novel by the end of the year - easier said than done, but I'm determined to get it done and dusted as soon as I can.
