Really - that's cool.I sent him the two stories set in China - The Celestial Dragon and The Silk Road. He's an editor who is a joy to work with. |

Thanks Huw,Gary and Mark! It will be interesting to see New Horizons. It will alternate with Dark Horizons - both published by the society. |

Bugger - sorry Mick! Thank you. I was replying, discussing with my husband about how many bags of gravel it would take to do the flower bed - then the maths teacher put his head over the wall and put in his penny worth. My computer is practically in the garden it is so close to the patio doors. And Heather wanted an envelope for a competition....phew! |

Well done. I'm afraid my story "Manningham Lane, Bradford" doesn't quite have the same panache. |

Thanks Simon! Will you be flying in with Ian when you come over in September? I'm looking forward to seeing you both :>) Albie - every now and then I get out my old leather jacket with the death head on the back and scare the children :>) |

Ally, it's unlikely Ian and I will end up arriving together. I'll be coming in a few days early to be shown around London by Mark Samuels and then heading over to Notthingham on Friday. At least, that's the plan at present. |

Call us up, Simon, if you like - we could meet you in London, as we live in the outskirts and can get to the centre in less than an hour. |

Good idea! Shoot me your contact info (privately, of course) and I'll try to remember to program it into my phone. |

"Albie - every now and then I get out my old leather jacket with the death head on the back and scare the children :>)" That's funny, because the children sometimes get out a skull with a little leather jacket stuck on its forehead and scare me. We are so alike. |
