Some books and some comp stuff and the like.

Hello. Didn't entirely mean to ignore you for two months there. It's not so much that we've had masses to do as that we've actually managed to pull Leaf Books back to such a shockingly managable level - that'll seem potently amusing when I'm buried under a mountain of micro-fiction entries next week - that we haven't really had anything much to communicate. We actually took a couple of days out to send our own novels to publishers and, er, write a sitcom and that sort of thing. But there is a smidge of news.

- The Someday Supplement is out and about and available for purchase. Have a squint at the website. I'm not entirely sure the Supplement's gone up on the website to be honest, but it most certainly will do in the next few days. It's quite amusing really. It contains the contents of the Mostly Life website and oodles more besides, and there's a slightly racy picture on the front. (There isn't really. It's just a renaissance willy.)

- The micro-fiction competition closed a couple of days ago. Thank you for your flurry of entries. I'm just done sending acknowledgements of receipts, in fact, and soon there'll be the databasing and the judging and we'll be outrageously busy people again. To be fair, we have a lovely work experience person in at the moment and she's going to do quite a lot of databasing for us and we're really very grateful.

(We had, incidentally, a bit of a problem with people who sent two entries and paid for them together being charged erroneously for p&p. We've only just become aware of the issue and have refunded all those that PayPal will allow us to refund - and if you sent an e-cheque, we'll be able to refund you once it's cleared. Sorry about that. We can't seem to fix it, but to avoid the problem in the future, pay for each entry seperately - unless you're doing the 4 for £10 thing, in which case it's fine to pay all at once.)

- Someone sent us cash instead of a cheque with their micro-fiction entries, so we're going to have an unusually exciting lunch. Cheers for that.

Sam.
