Salt Publishing are wonderful

I can't quite believe this, but Nicholas Royle has just asked to include my story 'The Swimmer' in The Best British Short Stories 2011, due out in April from Salt Publishing http://www.saltpublishing.com/  and  http://bestshortstories.wordpress.com/author/nicholasroyle/ . Blimey - I feel deeply honoured!

'The Swimmer' was the first story I sent out (and only the second I'd finished, if I'm honest) so I'm somewhat wide eyed and stunned. But finishing 'The Swimmer' last summer was what I needed to get me going (I've long had an extensive collection of brilliant openings), and I've since finished (or nearly finished) a handful more - I just hope I can produce something I like as much as 'The Swimmer'!.
