It will be a thrill to see my story ‘out there.’

And to see my name in print.

And it will be such a thrill to be at the book launch at the Sydney Writers Festival.

The UTS Anthology The Life You chose and that chose you is out (soon).

I am – of course – biased and think the book looks great.

I believe I may burn the letters of each word of my story Middle Brother by reading it so many times.

Woo-hoo!

Celebrations aside, the fact that a university is prepared to put time and money to produce such a professional publication is heartening.

There are limited avenues for writers and to be included in something so smart and worth reading is – well, it is a thrill.

But I ‘ve said that already – many times.

I know, I know. But I can’t help cheering – and clapping.
