One of those good days

by Colin R. Parsons on  February 28th, 2014 at  8:14 am

You know one of those days when things you'd forgotten about come back, but in a good way. Well that happened today. Firstly I was sent an email by Judith Barrow, a lovely author friend of mine from West Wales. She asked me if I would be interested in doing an author talk and book-signing at the Tenby Book Fair in September 2014. Then I got an email from an audio publisher I'd been contacting and hoping would get back to me. In-Ear Entertainment messaged me and we set up a meeting in March to discuss a possible talking book project.

   Then, and this project was way back last year and I'd totally thought it was dead and buried. South Wales Paranormal Research (SWPR) got in touch with me early last year and asked me if I wouldn't mind donating a short story. They were doing a charity ghost book for Cystic Fibrosis. How could I refuse. I wrote a short called: Chills on a knife edge, which is an account of something that happened to my wife and I in the early eighties. They are going to publish the book in September. There are a lot of celebrities involved and they've included me too.

Also I entered a piece of work for an online magazine called We are Cardiff. This was in 2013 too. They've contacted me and asked if I could have a photo done for the story. This kind of attention doesn't happen all the time.

awesome comments
