Family Legends

This is a new project by the Scottish Book Trust - have a look here and see if you fancy having a go!

A call went out a few weeks ago for some pre-launch examples of Family Legends and I wrote a piece called The Long Shadow about my mother's father. If you'd like to read it, click here! I'd like to thank my cousin Mary Beth, who is our family's genealogist, for her help - and I'm really sorry I didn't get a chance to fix the fact that the Chinese guys I called barons were in fact warlords. So, when you get to that bit, just change it in your mind, okay? Virtual editing - excellent!

Cheers, Joan.
