Well, as I’m sure most readers are well aware, it’s been a bit of a bitch of a month – and that’s me found out that another setback means I won’t know whether my mortgage has been approved until after the holidays – gah!

However, it’s not all bad news, I’ve also just discovered that iPhone short story publishers Ether have managed to get my stories up in time for Christmas. If you have an iPhone/Pad/Pod, please do download the Ether App, where you’ll find me in the Authors section and be given the option to grab a few of my stories free and three others at the modest price of 59p.

There are some amazing authors on there, and I feel thrilled to be in such esteemed company – so go check it out for work from everyone from Hilary Mantel to Henry James.

Ether is possibly the perfect pocket-sized entertainment solution for any booklovers stuck waiting for nonexistent transport to hurry up and materialise, and if you’re one of the many people struggling to get home this year – here’s wishing you good luck.

A sweet and sour day for sure, but that’s always the way isn’t it!
