Making Amends

June 17, 2022June 17, 2022 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 16 Comments

For those outside the UK who asked, here is my story recently published in The People's Friend. These knitting needles had an agenda of their own.

Confession: the first thing I learned about ‘that’ is that it never needs a comma before it. It sounded too good to be true! Now I try it for size in my sentence, and if it sounds right, I use it.

Editing The Pond People

April 22, 2020March 18, 2020 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 9 Comments

It's been a while since I wrote The Pond People. It began as a short story which was edited to death to send out for a competition.
