Ladies Who Launch – My First Ever Windsurf Race

I am thrilled Robert Fear has featured my second piece this year on his Fred’s Blog Creative Writing Showcase.

In Ladies Who Launch – My First Ever Windsurf Race, you will discover how I overcame nerves and unfavourable conditions, only to embarrass myself in front of all my windsurfing heroes – like 9x World Freestyle Champion Jose ‘Gollito’ Estredo, who is featured on the cover photo.

Both the cover photo and the picture of me below were taken by Dave White, ‘The Mighty Whitey’, UK Production Board Speed Champion, professional windsurf photographer, and son of Olympic Gold Medallist yachtsman, Reg White,

You can read Robert’s intro and my author bio here, with a link to the story, or go straight to:

For Authors – Creative Writing Showcase

If you are an author and would like to participate, there is a section for both fiction and memoir, it’s free to enter, and the showcase is open to submissions until 30th September 2023. Here is a link to the 2023 submission guidelines.

Depending on the level of support, selected stories will be published in two separate
anthologies (one for each category) at the end of the year. 

Robert’s 2022 anthology 40 Life Changing Events features my story, A Street Dog Named Blade, based on events that happened in my third book, Dogs ‘n’ Dracula: A Road Trip Through Romania, when we adopted a Transylvanian stray.

Welcome to Kosovo was published in the 2023 travel anthology, 50 Intriguing Personal Insights
