The Writers Abroad anthology Foreign Encounters has been released. I have a short piece in it called “Sounion”, which is rather good and atmospheric if I say so myself.
Foreign Encounters is available from Lulu as a paperback for £7.44 ($9.99, hence the strange UK price), and profits go the the charity Books Abroad which provides school books to poor countries.
The anthology will probably come out as an ebook at some point, too, if you prefer your books that way.
I loved Sounion, KC. So much feeling in so few words. We will be having a book launch in Dhaka, Bangladesh next weekend.

Thanks, Paola! I’ve only visited the temple at Sounion once but it made a great impression on me. All the best for your book launch!
Loved your meditative piece on Sounion. I’ve never been, but I’ve also stood admiring a scene while pondering its history. Well done.
I have a story in the anthology as well. Nice to find your blog.
Thanks, Chris. I haven’t got my copy yet (I must remember to write myself a reminder!) but I’ll look out for your piece when I do.
