This is just a quick post about something that’s been on my mind for a while. It’s sad that there are so many preconceived ideas about YA novels, ideas that show those who speak about them, very often haven’t read any. I’m writing for adults, children and Young Adults and in one of my writer’s […]

Wonderful! Well done!
Thank you so much, Karen.
Well done! A good month for acceptances means you are sending things out – which is always the challenge, isn’t it? (And, of course, it also means you write well, but we know that you do, nevertheless, yay for that too.)
Thank you so much, Marina.
It is a challange to send things, true.
Congratulations – that’s great news! It must be so gratifying, makes it all worthwhile. 🙂
Thanks, Jacqui. It’s rather nice, yes. 🙂
Wonderful news and much deserved for such a talented writer! So happy for you, my friend. xo
Thank you so much, Jolene. And right back at you. xo
You are the best, girlfriend! Keep doing what you are doing…

Fantastic well done.
Thanks so much, Ali.
Congrats Caroline. Good for you.
Thank you, Guy.
Congratulations Caroline! I loved both the story and the prose poem. The picture accompanying the prose poem was beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for reading, Vishy. So glad you liked them. It’s beautiful picture. Ink in Thirds is a lovely magazine. I love their photography.
Excellent, congrats Caroline. I liked both the pieces, would like to see (or imagine) where they go.

Thank you so much for reading and your comment, Ian.
I don’t know Vertigo. I’ll have look. Thanks.
Congratulations Caroline!

Thank you so much, Brian. I’m glad you liked them. Especially “I Keep . . .” That is exactly what I was going for.
I read them both and they are wonderful, Caroline. Congrats!
Thanks so much, Carole. I’m glad you liked them.
Marvelous! I enjoyed reading both pieces, especially “The New Girl.” The imagery was terrific. Congratulations!
Thank you so much, Jacqui. I’m so glad you liked them. The New Girl is very close to my heart.
I was lucky and had another one published yesterday. I was among those chosen for the UK’s National Flash Fiction Day.
How wonderful! Keep the momentum going. 🙂
Thanks, Jacqui.
Congrats! I am so happy to hear your writing has really taken off! Must go and check out your links now! 🙂
Thanks, Danielle. Following that anouncement I had another one up during National Flash Fiction Day in the UK. 🙂
