The Wild Geese

April 15, 2007

I belong to the Wild Geese, a closed Internet group of amazingly talented and supportive writers who live in UK, Canada, USA, France, Ireland and South Africa ( moi)

We crit, congratulate and commiserate whenever needed and without these mates I would never have had the nerve to send out my first story. 

Said we were a talented bunch! Check our  achievements:

Several Geese contribute to the Sexy Shorts range of charity books (Accent Press) The latest, Saucy Shorts For Chefs contains 12 of our stories.

One Australian fiction special contained stories from 8 of our members

Four Geese have written serials for women’s magazines

Our members write articles for national newspapers as well as for magazines.

Several of us are writing novels
