That is fantastic news re Eileen, I have just sent out a group email about it. Fab, fab!! Thanks for the post and letting us all know.
Hi Louise, I know – Eileen will be thrilled and I am delighted for her!
Yeap she will be thrilled, a Hennessy winner is a bit like an Oscar Winner me thinks. By the way Afric McGlinchey was my 60th blog follower, is she connected to your blog site?
Lol – she will indeed. No, she’s not connected, but I liked her two poems.
Ah just wondering, you know the way it is when someone you don’t know connects, you are curious as to why? And yes, I really liked her two poems. I read Eileen’s short story and it was great too, but that Louise name is getting everywhere!!!
