Hey everyone!

I just wanted to share some very exciting news: three of my poems are getting published in three new anthologies from United Press Ltd!

I entered two competitions by United Press Ltd earlier this year and both my submissions were successful! My poem "Diminuendo" is being published in their anthology "Seeds of Inspiration" which hits the shelves this autumn, and my poem "This Poet's Hands" will be featured in the "National Poetry Anthology" which comes out in 2012.

But the best piece of news has to be my third poem. The editor at United Press sent me a letter telling me he was so impressed with my work he wants to publish "Our Love" in their upcoming anthology "Uplifting Moments" - a collection I didn't even submit to!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone on ABCtales for their invaluable support over the years - part of my success belongs to you!

Magic you absolutely deserve it, your poetry is brilliant and should be read by more people. You're still only a youngster as well and will improve and improve which is pretty scary. I'm well chuffed for you - nice one. :-) :-)

Thank you fatboy and Prettyrose! :-) Ah, I don't feel so young anymore - we've just dropped my little sister off at university to start her first term there! Rather happy I don't have to relive Freshers' week when I return to Durham in two weeks! Magic xxx

Thanks, Richard! What a beautiful metaphor - but the flowers would never have grown if it weren't for people like you on ABC ;-) Magic xxx

Thanks, Julie! I'm afraid I won't be able to come down to London as it's a bit too far for me to go so close to returning to uni. But I hope you all have a great evening! Magic xxx
