Apologies
I am running behind with reading and announcements due to a family member being critically ill in hospital. I will be revealing the Flash Prize Winners later this week and the Past Times Prize longlist next week.
I will also be rescheduling the Weaving Sensuous Spells workshop that I had to postpone from last weekend.
Thanks for bearing with me.
