It's amazing what some clever ladies can come up with when sitting in the Groucho Club in London one night. Three friends - the incomparable Jessica Adams (www.jessicaadams.com), Chris Manby, and Fiona Walker - were talking about different books being published in England and Australia, and how great it would be to channel some of that talent into a good cause. With that, the Girls' Night In series of short stories was born, with some or all of the royalties going to the charity War Child.

I was thrilled and honored to be asked to contribute. For more information about War Child, go to www.warchild.org, or www.girlsnightin.org and follow the links. You'll also be able to buy the newest editions.
