A couple of months ago my friend Deirdre and I were planning a trip to Ireland.
We were looking forward to attending the Writers' Festival in Cork to receive our winning prizes for the Fish Short Story Competition, a renowned literary competition that we had both just entered.
After celebrating in Ireland we would go on to Paris to stay at the Ritz, a place we had both always dreamed of visiting.
This morning I turned on my computer, and for the sixty-third time visited the Fish Publishing website to see if the results were in. They were. We didn't even make the long list.
I woke Deirdre up to give her the good news - we would be going straight to Paris!
About Me
- Rebekah Tyler
- Grief stricken following the death of my grandmother, I took my two young boys and their competing needs on an eight month adventure around the world. When I returned I began to write a travel memoir revealing the challenges and wonderful events that occurred as I traveled with my sons to Canada, England, France, Spain, Italy and Vietnam. Initially, I thought that I would be able to complete my book in a couple of months (what was I thinking?). In reality, I discovered that writing about my trip was going to take me on another journey - turning my travels into a New York Times Bestseller. This blog records the trials and tribulations of achieving this, whilst raising two demanding boys (yes, I am a dreamer).
