Publication: the People’s Friend annual 2018

 25 July 2017  Posted in Publication 0 Likes 514 Views

I’m delighted to report that I have a short story in this 2018 annual from The People’s Friend, out now.

This is the first short story I ever sold to them after 31 years of trying. I’ve not got my copy yet, but I have it on very good authority that the story is called Catch of the Day. (The People’s Friend are known for changing story titles.)

The book is only available as a hardback, but you can buy it from Amazon here.
