I will not go into details of the day, as there is a really god one on the Manchester Children’s book Festival blog.

As part of my Master Degree at MMU, we have been offered the extraordinary chance to take part in a collection of short stories. The theme was history. So I took my chance and wrote a short story. And after drafts and redrafts and more rewriting my story was accepted.

The book will be launched in Manchester at the John Rylands Library on Deansgate on October 19th 2013 as part of the Manchester Literature Festival.

On a personal level I am so proud to be part of this adventure, especially as it is with fellow MA friends who just happen to be wonderful authors

And I can honestly say their stories rock:  With them you will take part in a Napoleon war, catch a glimps of an elephant in the night, be a chimney sweepers in the Dickens time, experience a witch hunt,  jump from a plane and take part in a riot in Leicester.  All that in one book.

The book will on sale from October 19th, so watch out for links to get your copy of this exciting collection of short stories.
