Forced To Fly - Second Edition

Recently, I received a lovely email from Jo Parfitt telling me that the submission of one of my short stories had been successful ('Stay a while longer') and was destined to appear in the second edition of 'Forced to Fly.' 

In Jo's words this book is an 'anthology of humorous writings about living abroad,' but is also packed with useful tips, suggestions of books to read and funny quotations. Designed to keep you on this side of sanity during your sojourn abroad, whether long or short

For the low down on the project and list of writers taking part to date, take a look here. 

Of  course I will keep you updated as to it's progress, and will shout about it from the tree tops when it is due to come out; Also, I hope you will buy your own personal copy.  So, watch this space...

This is it...

Secret Portrait

Ever heard of Orange The Feed? Well neither had I until recently whilst fluttering around on Twitter. 

Quite by chance I came across fellow Tweeps clammering for their portraits to be done by online illustrators.

For a portrait all one had to supply was a short description of oneself, likes/dislikes, pets (where applicable) & their characteristics, or anything else that came to mind. Add the all important hash tag #SecretPortrait and send the Tweet to @OrangeTheFeed... 

Today (upon my enquiry), a reply & link to my Secret Portrait arrived...

"Rather than tell you, how about we show you?  http://t.co/8e0woXH6 

The image is of course in this post as well and I'm thrilled to bits with it!

So, if you're up to having your Secret Portrait done, instantly, and for the price of a tweet, you know where to go...enjoy!
