I’m delighted to welcome Cheryl Morgan – the author of The Poet’s Daughter in Manifold Press’s latest anthology Rainbow Bouquet – to my blog today.

Thank you Cheryl for so kindly answering my questions.

For how long have you been writing?

Since I was at school, which is many decades ago.

What attracted you to the brief for Rainbow Bouquet?

Farah has been a friend for a long time. When I saw that she was getting
into publishing I wanted to support her.

What inspired your story?

Emily Wilson’s translation of the Odyssey.

Please tell me about your current work in progress.

I don’t have any stories on the go right now, mainly because I have been
frantically writing talks for LGBT History Month and don’t have any
space in my head for fiction.

The next story I will have published will be in Airship Shape & Bristol
Fashion 2, which is due out from Wizard’s Tower Press later this year.

Could we see an excerpt?
Sorry, no, but I can tell you a few things. It features a cavalry
officer who is trying to come to terms with surviving the Charge of the
Light Brigade. There are trains. Brunel gets his heart’s desire. And
Lord Palmerston gets to yell, “No one blackmails the British Empire!”

Where may we follow you online?
