Some of
these may never see the light of day. Some of them might. But just in
case you're interested...
The
Party Spirit
My entry for the
RNA's 2010 in-house short story competition, the Elizabeth Goudge
trophy, which received an honourable mention because it made Katie
Fforde laugh.
The
theme was 'Anniversaries' and, well, you'll see what I came up with.

It Had To Be You
Loli's mother always told her not to fall for a music man.
The last one left her broke and living in a VW camper van. And when Ben Montagu, hotshot music manager, crashes said van, she doesn't even have that.
Still, at least he tries to make amends—installing her in his swanky beach villa and replacing all the band equipment he's just destroyed. Oh yes—Loli's band. The one she manages. The one that's on the cusp of stardom. Ben thinks they're great, and they are...but that can't be the only reason he's interested in Loli, can it?
Can it?
It Had To Be You features an up-and-coming...okay, an amateur rock band. This is a world I'm kinda familiar with, what with my brother being a small-time musician and all. I've been to the grotty venues, I've seen the labyrinthine contracts, and I've heard the record company bullshit. And I know as well as Loli—never trust a music man!
Lip Service
I don't have a blurb for this one yet. I don't even have the first line. What I do have is a line from a Nerina Pallot song that set the whole thing off:
"I am an angel with the knowledge of a sinner"
Think about it...
