Rattle Tales Anthology Out Now

Today I found it hard to get out of bed because I was reading the brilliant Rattle Tales anthology featuring stories from very fine writers such as Starlings author Erinna Mettler, and yes my story Playing Horse is in there too.

This week I'm having a break from my Swenglish project, so was happy I could go along to the Rattle Tales event in the Brighton Fringe Festival. What I like best about the event is that it's interactive, the audience is allowed to ask questions the author has to answer on the spot. We were treated to stories about insect sex, pear trees, catholic schools, human bears, modern plague and persuasive sellers.

I don't know if I'm as persuasive as the characters in Susanna Quinn's story but the Rattle Tales anthology is on sale here.
