Great to see your name up there with the biggies, H -- where of course it deserves to be. This looks exciting -- hope it will be available here.

Congratulations, Henrietta - looks like a superb anthology and the trailer was stunning.

Thanks Jassy, Helen! Actually the book has already been around for nearly a year: http://henriettaroseinnes.book.co.za/blog/2009/04/03/one-world-anthology-launched/
I'm not sure if it's available in any local book shops.

But of course -- and I remember the tadpole story from Oshun's 180 degrees that had a role in its spawning... I hate it when I can't buy books by local authors. Hum. We shall have to speak to the miracle workers at the Book Lounge.
