jl_merrow | Happy Easter Everyone!

Should you feel like a spot of seasonal reading in amongst the chocolate feeding frenzy (what do you mean that last bit's just me?), I'd be delighted if you'd pop over to the e-zine Reflections Edge where you can read my Easter Bunny story, the succinctly-titled A Little Bit Like the Tooth Fairy (Only Not Quite).

(While you're there, take a look at some of the other fiction on offer –it's definitely rewarding.)

I wrote Tooth Fairy a long, long time ago, back when I was taking my first baby steps as a writer (I'll leave it to the reader to judge whether I've progressed much since then!). ~~Bullied~~ Encouraged by my evening class writing tutor, I dared to send it in to Reflections Edge back in December 2008, where it dived merrily into the slush pile and didn't come up for air until shortly after Easter 2009. Whereupon they wrote back saying "Yes, we loved it—do you mind if you don't see it again for another year?"

So this is actually the first-written story of mine that sold, although chronologically speaking it was my third acceptance and is now my *counts on fingers; gives up* umpteenth publication, and I'm thrilled to see it finally come out! :D

Warning: It's probably not suitable for reading to the tots, although unusually for me, not because of any sexual content…
