Congratulations, It’s a... Gargoyle? has been accepted for the Anxiety Disorders anthology! This is officially the first non-fiction true-life piece I’ll have had published.

I say ‘officially’, because there was a true-life article I wrote for a popular women’s magazine back in 2004, but I’ve tried blotting it from my memory. (They fictionalised it and gave it the title ‘Blow-Out’, and I’m not revealing any more than that, or my cheeks will turn red again).

These days, I’m choosy about where I send stuff. I admire Hidden Thoughts Press, so I leapt at the chance to be in one of their books. I don't have a publication date yet. The Anxiety Disorders anthology is being edited by Suzanne Robb, who’s had her writing published in loads of places. Check out her site here.

HTP are bringing out several anthologies of true stories of inspiration, to help people suffering with mental illness. Sufferers will realise they’re not alone, and hopefully they’ll discover new ways of managing their own situations. So if you have a story to tell, send it in!
