My New Voices entry this year, 'Confessions of a Chalet Girl', is about feeling guilty. It's personal to me because I've had to delve into the complexity of guilt and the irrational human emotions surrounding it over the past few years. My brain injury was an accident but it was caused by my husband. I know it was an accident, he knows it was an accident but that hasn't prevented a few dark moments for both of us.
So my story is exploring the issue and set in a place I love - Switzerland (well I had to justify those drives over to Verbier for 'research purposes'. Really I have to get published just to justify the travel ;-)
If you have time to read it I would value your comments. If the link comes up before I leave to fly to Corfu I'll add it in, if not then please bear with me!

I love this opening chapter, Lorraine! You already know I love your voice, but knowing how personal this story is to you has added a whole new depth and emotion.
I hope this chapter gets all the attention and praise it so richly deserves.
It's a fantastic chapter, Lorraine! Congratulations on entering. I hope we get to see you in the top 20 :-)
