Doing My Bit For Charity


Earlier this year, I got involved in a project to raise money for the children whose lives were devastated by the earthquake in Haiti at the start of 2010.

The project, an eBook, called No Man & Other Stories to Help Haiti contains lots of fantastic stories from some of top writers including: Alexander McCall Smith, Nina Bell, William Peter Blatty, Nick Brownlee, Louise Candlish, Stella Duffy, Kate Furnivall, Alex Gray, Clare Jay, Shari Low, Martina Reilly, Bernadette Strachan and, me!

You don’t need an eReader to read it, just download it to your computer. Buy it for £5 – all proceeds go to UNICEF – from Waterstones by clicking here and know that you’ll be doing your bit to help make lives better for the children of Haiti.

  
     
     
 
 
     
     
 

Hello!


Lovely to see you over here at my site.

You’ll find lots of (hopefully) interesting things here including information about me, about my books and about the life of a writer.

You can also get involved in just-for-fun polls, start an online discussion with the all-new guestbook, and find out what events I have coming up.

Hope you enjoy yourself, and don’t forget to get in touch – I love hearing from you.
