My Weekly made my day!

I have a story in the current My Weekly Special. Isn’t that a fun illustration?

The story referred to is about the relationships between cousins and the grandmother they share. If you like feel good family stories you might be interested in one of my collections of 24 short stories on this theme. There are 5 books in total, including this one.
