That's a shame. I'm sure there are lots of self published fantasy authors.

Lovely new review of my free little short story collection.

mybook.to/NADTD

"5 stars A charming collection of stories. All of them are somehow connected to water or at least liquid of some sort. An easy read. However the stories are by no means trivial. They work well, give you a little pause for thought and have satisfying outcomes. I’ve read Patsy Collins before and I shall certainly read more of her work"

Still writing my non- fiction book for older writers on writing SF. Got to geek out over starships this afternoon, which was great fun.

If you're in the area on Saturday, why not pop along to Hayling Island Market at the Community Centre, Station Road PO11 0HB, 12 to 4. Say hello, buy a book and read it on the beach afterwards. You know it makes sense
