Today marks 100 days til Christmas and it seems like an opportune moment to say I have a new poem in CHRISTMAS PARTY, a festive mini-anthology edited by Di Slaney and Katharine Towers of Candlestick Press. This Christmas, instead of a card, why not give a pamphlet of poems? tinyurl.com/yfnpzfuj

Hi Niamh, thank you! I’ve sent a message on ‘a different platform’ (single letter)! I hope that ok. I’m sorry, I’ve not been able to fix the problem about messages here, I hadn’t realised about it. I’m really pleased you’d like a copy of my book, though, thank you 😊
