  1. Thank you so much Sally. I’ve just arrived back in the North East but will be posting on the blog soon.I’m really touched that you cared about the people in my story. A short story can definitely become a novel or as in my case I’ve written some other stories linked to the characters in Millie and Bird – so I hope these stories might appear someday.
