A colleague writes:
I’m volunteering for a project called 100 Stories for Haiti.
We’re putting together an e-book of short fiction to sell to raise money for the Red Cross and their relief efforts in Haiti after the earthquake. If you’ve got a few hours spare to help it would be massively appreciated.
We need: short story submissions, editors and sub-editors
If you want to send a short story, please follow these guidelines:
- No more than 1,000 words
- Stories themed around hope and no stories containing graphic violence, death or destruction
- Send all stories in the body text of an email to 100storiesforhaiti AT gmail.com. Stories sent as attachments will not be opened.
- Stories must be received by Monday 25 January 2010
I’m happy to answer any questions but you’re probably best going straight to the originator of the project Greg McQueen at 100storiesforhaiti AT gmail.com
Press release available from me on request
Thanks muchly.

4th January 2010 | Reader's Questions
Happy new year to you all! And many thanks to all the readers of my book for your queries over the Christmas period. I now have a backlog and will try to respond to you personally or post the answer here if it’s a question I’ve been asked more than once.
Max from Jersey asks…
“I am a French man based in Jersey and I read your book. I really enjoyed it. I was wondering if you were considering to translate to French at some point? I think it would be a great success in France. Thanks in advance for your answer. Best wishes, Max.”
Thanks for your question Max. I know there are several translation talks going on at the moment and if a French version is commissioned I’ll let you know here. For German readers we should start one or two translations of the sample chapters on the book page in the coming weeks.
Thanks again, and to all my readers, feel free to ask questions at any time. I will always try and respond to you, although please bear in my mind that sometimes my workload or location often means I can’t.
Keep smiling, F.
