ABCtales Spring Newsletter

Dear ABCtalers,

It's been a while since I wrote but now we have a few things to point up to you.

1. ABCtales EVENING MAY 15TH

Our next London get together will be at The Wheatsheaf near Tottenham Court Road tube station on Tuesday May 15th at 7 p.m.. We do hope that any of you living or working in the London area will come along - and bring some family members or friends.

We have some room left for readers - so if you would like to read then please email me as soon as possible at tcook@abctales.com

Full details are here: http://www.abctales.com/next-abctales-london-get-together-may-15th

Already confirmed to read are such ABC luminaries as sid, scratch, jolono, rjnewlyn and lavadis amongst others. It'll be a great night.

2. ABCtalers GET PUBLISHED

Jennifer's book 'Unbelievable' will be out under the Unbound banner in the next month or so and I'll let you know as soon as it is available. Unbound are now looking at another ABCtales author and I hope to announce his/her name shortly.

Meanwhile jingle has had his book, 'Blackmore's Treasure' selected by the Historical Novel Society this month. A full review and details are here:

3. LORRAINE MACE'S CRITIQUING SERVICE

ABCtalers who have used her services have been unanimous in their praise for her. We are being offered a special deal here - and it took me a long time to find the right person at the right price for this service. I do hope that more of you will take advantage of it.

4. DONATIONS

I must thank all of you that do donate - you are the people (along with the wonderful Editors) that keep us going. If you haven't donated and use ABCtales a lot then please consider doing it. You can do so very easily by clicking on the 'donate' button on the right hand side of every page.

For those you in the UK - enjoy your May Day Bank Holiday and use the time to catch up on the Stories and Poems of the Week or use the Inspiration Point to write us all a great piece.

Why not encourage your friends and relations on Facebook and Twitter to sign up to our recommendations service. Most days I point up a story or poem that will put a spring in your step. It's all free! Join us on Facebook at ABCtales.com or on Twitter @tcookabctales.

All the very best,
Tony Cook and the team.
