A Short Digest of Everything We Know
There have been so many great emails/news items lately that we want to share with you.
We can’t fit everything in here, so apologies if we’ve missed you – you can always tweet us and we’ll pass the message on.
Here’s a selection of news and other things:
Writer Christine Coleman, whose novel Paper Lanterns we launched back in March 2010, is reserching the background to the letters from China that inspired the novel. She is asking for our help in tracking down the authors and recipients of them.
On Christine’s website you can view the letters and see more about her search – she is asking everyone to take a look – you never know where these connections may come from! A fascinating research project, too.
