Last summer, my daughter, Faith, set up a charity, Love Ghana, to raise money to help some of the poorest people in the world whom she regularly visits . What could/would I do to help? 'Not another sponsored something,' I groaned. I don't mind walking the Forth Bridge, swimming endless lengths of a pool or keeping silence for a whole day (all of which I have done in the past for sponsorship). It's just collecting the money afterwards that is so tedious and always feels like scrounging..
So I decided to do what I like to think I do best - write. I already had lots of stories of various lengths in faithful Laptop (and backed up on sticks as well - don't fret, techy folk). So was born the concept of 'Tales to dip into' which came out at the end of November.
The dire snowbound conditions of our roads in December prevented my webmaster from coming to update my website but at last, this very day, it has been done! So: relax, uncurl your toes and dip them into this little book. Meet a mad woman in Florence, a nonagenarian going courting and a baby speaking from the womb; watch Facebook friends at the Edinburgh Festival, go to garage sales in Toronto and attend the last performance of a stage legend. It's all there and lots more.
Funny, sad, romantic, dark and quirky stories - three of each!
£5 a copy and every penny of that goes to Love Ghana. Just click on the picture of the book to find out more and how to buy it.
Then relax and enjoy - come on, you know you want to ....
