Short Story in the Waterloo Collection

I am thrilled to have a short story in the Waterloo Collection, an anthology of some of the stories (from adults and children) submitted to a recent competition. All the stories were to take place during the days leading up to the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Since my novel, Dangerous Deceit, takes place in 1813 and mentions the Napoleonic Wars, I was very keen to try this competition. My story, 'Dancing into Battle', was one of the Highly Commended prize winners in third place.

The Collection was launched last weekend in Devon by Professor Richard Holmes, an expert on Waterloo, and he has written the foreword and signed the book. Evidently, the standard of competition entries was so high that they decided to publish some of the stories. The Collection is to raise funds for Project Huogoumont, in the hope of restoring the dilapidated farm on the site of the Battlefield in Belgium, in time for the 200th anniversary of Waterloo in 2015.

It's a stunning cover, isn't it? Copyright of the cover art remains with artist Chris Collingwood, having been granted permission for it by 'Project Hougoumont' .
