Anyone else entered this one? It's run by a HAstings group and judged by David Gemmel (of fantasy 'Legend' series).

I've posted off a short which I'm planning to turn into a novella - I might post it on the site some time in the future. I was just curious as to whether anyone else had thought it was worthwhile...

Steph - can you post a link?

Here it is:

http://www.legendwritingaward.com/

Isn't that funny I was just looking at that site today, (another coincidence?). I couldn't decide what I thought about it, but was in favour rather than not.

Hmmm. I've been mulling about putting something together to submit to Aurora Publishing for their next magazine, but I think I can accommodate this as well.

Providing it doesn't interfere with my Scuba diving lessons of course.

Nell, I think I am excluded, since I have a published novel. Although it is hardly commercial, I suspect it counts as one. I have been trying to rediscover my link to your novel but can't seem to find it anywhere, can you post it again, or email me? Thanks, Hilary

Hilary, I guess I am too, in spite of everything. Solitary Pleasures has still not appeared on Amazon, but there's information about the book and a photo to help you identify me on the 23rd! on my website:

Nell,
Maybe we could start a demand chain. Everyone here interested in buying Solitary Pleasures could e-mail the amazon department asking where the **** it is and swamp the blighters until they get their bottoms shifting - what do you think

Ralph - I wouldn't like to blame Amazon without knowing the facts...

I looked for a photo of you, Nell, but didn't see one, but that's OK. We're all going to find each other on the 23rd.

Fair enough Nell. I'm just horribly impatient...

Ralph - when I said 'I' I meant 'me' not 'you' (Ralph) if that's not completely impenetrable. So I wasn't ticking you off! Oh these wretched pixels...

And if you'd like one just email me with an address and I'll pop one in the post. (As long as you promise I can have one of yours the minute it's published!)

Becca - did you click on the link I posted a few posts back? There should be one on that.
