We've Done It Again!

Do you remember our collective success in the Messages anthology last year? I'm delighted to say that we've done it again with You're Not The Only One, an anthology compiled by Peach to raise funds for War Child, a charity that helps children affected by war.

Novel Racers whose pieces were chosen for the anthology are: Debs, Helen (Redders), Jen, Kate (Kingsley), Leigh, and, er, me again. There were around 400 submissions and around 100 pieces chosen, but all the submissions were so good that the editorial team are planning a second volume, so if your piece didn't make it in this time, don't be too downhearted; you may be lucky next time around.

Did you know that one child dies as a result of war every three minutes? Neither did I. That's 480 children per day. Or over 175,000 per year. Those of us who are in the book have already agreed to buy at least one copy each; that was part of the deal. But those of you who aren't in it can also help, if you wish, by buying a copy here. At present around half of the cover price goes to the charity (the team are hoping this will increase - Lulu have done this before for fundraisers); the other half buys you a damn good book focusing on the camaraderie of blogging. And, if you feel so inclined, you could advertise it on your blog.

Finally, let's hear it for the Novel Racers. Well done, us!
