WITS writers in Tropical Writers anthology

Thank you Tropical Writers for the invitation to submit individual stories for your next anthology. It is a publication worthy of such a progressive writing group and I am delighted that two members from WITS have been selected for inclusion.

Kerry Ashwin’s Digging a Hole and my own short story Kathy Doesn’t Live Here Anymore will both appear in the publication. Congratulations Tropical Writers.
