A Loss Beyond Compare
This morning between 7:30am and 9am, Ian Govan (writing as Ian Alexander) passed away.
A sudden death, seemingly from a massive and quick heart attack, has taken Ian from us.
He was a top friend, my best friend, and avid supporter of all new and upcoming writing talent. WordPlay was his brainchild, and I am proud to have been asked by him to begin the venture and help lead it to where it is today.
He loved writing in all genres, but particularly social commentary. He found many friends at WordPlay, and was continually amazed by the talent that the group unearthed.
He will be sadly missed.
The last article that he wrote will be appearing in next week's CBN, on sale 7th September 2012. It is an article that observes the nuances of the English language (that he loved), with his typical wit dotted throughout.
The novel that he has written jointly with Joy Lennick will be published later this year.
Our condolences go to his family and friends, of whom he had many.

Short Story Competition
Wow, no blogs for a while, and then two in a couple of days...WordPlay is just like waiting for a bus!
There's a great short story competition that you might like to take note of. Cash prizes, and three categories: short, shorter, and shortest!
Anyway, here's a link to those nice people at Words with Jam:

Congratulations!
WordPlay wants to say a very big well done to member Janette Davies who has had a short story published in the TV Choice Magazine (edition dated around 18th July).
Janette said that her decision to submit a story was a spur of the moment thing, and she did so because of the confidence that WordPlay has given her with her writing.
She also said that we wouldn't believe it - well, we do. That's the thing: we know that all our members have a tremendous talent.
So a big congratulations to Janette from all of WordPlay. We're sure this is only the start.
Why not purchase a copy of TV Choice to read "Lana Turner" by Janette Davies?

Next Week's Forum
Hi All,
Next week's Forum, as ever on the second Monday of the month, 14th May at 10:30am at the Emerald Isle, La Florida, looks set to be interesting.
We're going to button down the new Quarterly Book, and give deadlines etc for story submission, and then bring all up to date on other news in the market. Hopefully there will be good news for at least one of our members! Don't forget to bring along your news etc.
And, for those that have been involved, have a look at the image attached and let me know what you think. It's only draft at the moment, so we can change it around (eg, I know there's some name changes needed!).
