STORIES FOR SENDAI_IT JUST SEEMED THE THING TO DO



Some good news ...

I received this email this afternoon :

Hi Roland,

We are very pleased to inform you that your story "It Just Seemed the Thing to Do"

has been accepted for the Stories for Sendai anthology!

The charity anthology will be released on June 30th.

In the meantime, it would be great if you could help spread the word;

remember, the more copies we sell, the more we can help Japan!

Thank you once again for your contribution!

Regards,
J.C. Martin

Think about the hurting in Japan when June 30th comes around. Roland

    Thanks for posting this Roland, and your story definitely deserved inclusion. for everyone else, they'll have to wait to get the anthology to find out why! And thanks for posting that statue--I was wondering what it looked like! :)

    Thank you. Mother taught me that a Lakota could not call himself a man and not be there to help when he could. I can't wait for June 30th to see what the anthology looks like, too!

    It's the wee hours of the dark night here. It must be bright daylight in South Africa. I'm glad I checked before turning in. Thanks for being happy for me, Roland

    Hi Roland .. congratulations - that's wonderful news and now I wonder how the statue features .. but the cherry blossom is gorgeous, though whether that lightened any hearts this year is questionable - it's being a horrendous time for so many, but particularly northern Japan.

    Hope you enjoyed your pizza and your sleep .. cheers Hilary

    Hilary :
    I enjoyed my pizza and the movie V FOR VENDETTA. The sleep is yet to come, but soon. I am like a little boy. When I'm up, I don't want to go to sleep. When I'm asleep, I don't want to get up! LOL.

    It has been a horrendous year for Japan. I hope the proceeds from this anthology helps in some small way. The staute figures in the ending of my story.

    Roland, I just finished a Kindle book buying spree! The pool is almost warm enough, Rod blew up the loungers, and after my eye surgery on June 16th, I will be ready to read without holding my Kindle 6 inches from my face. On the 30th I'll be buying the anthology as well.

    I have a new post out. Check it out!!

    Hi Roland,
    That is fantastic!!
    Not just the fact that your story has been accepted (Yay!), but that it is for a good cause.
    I will write a post on my blog, so it might help a little bit to spread the word.
    Well done.
    A big hug,
    Noemi

    Yay! Congratulations! It's always nice to have a story accepted in an anthology, but it means so much more when the anthology is for a wonderful cause.

    I can't wait to get a copy and read your story. By the way, my story was accepted too. It'll be nice to be in an anthology together. :)

    Thanks, Siv.

    Michelle :
    I wish you luck with that formatting! Formatting is a nightmare for me. And thanks for accepting my story. Now, here's to high sales for a great cause.

    The Desert Rocks :
    Thanks for the support. May your Sunday be all you wish it to be.

    Thanks for the support, Andy.

    Judie :
    I will pray for your surgery's success on June 16th. And thanks for the support in buying the anthology. Japan needs all the help she can get. I hope one of my books got on your Kindle list. I'm off to your post after this, Roland

    Noemi :
    Thanks for the cyber hug and for writing a post about STORIES FOR SENDAI. You're a treasure, Roland

    Cherie :
    It will be nice to be in an anthology together! But even better that is for such a great cause. I can't wait to read your story, too, Roland

    Judie :
    Thank you for the purchases. If you bought FRENCH QUARTER NOCTURNE, you might fast forward to the chapter, EXECUTIVE DISORDER, where Samuel McCord has invaded the bedroom of George and Laura Bush the night after Katrina. I had fun writing it -- the only pity being that it didn't actually happen. Roland

    Congratulations, Roland (and JC).

    And I saw your comment over on Michael's blog about losing followers - it's been happening to us lately, too. Maybe some blogs are no longer active and are getting deleted??
