Local Stories, universal themes. Snappin’ Twine, about 1960s women, short listed for CAP Awards (Anthology category). Beach litter-picker. Dog lover.

[Ursula Kane Cafferty Author @ukanecafferty]

While the stories are local, the themes are universal, for example love, self-determination, autonomy, inclusion, coming-of-age and change … all life experiences relatable to a wide audience.

Listening to @martylyricfm chat about AI earlier brought this piece to mind. The lyrics are from my book Snappin’ Twine, the music is AI. 👀

This weekend marks 25 years of Lollipop Day in Ireland 🇮🇪

Oesophageal cancer is one of the most lethal cancers when diagnosed late. Around 450+ new cases are diagnosed in Ireland each year — and survival rates remain lower than many other common cancers because symptoms are often missed.

Persistent heartburn. Difficulty swallowing. Unexplained weight loss. Ongoing indigestion.

Early diagnosis saves lives.

Support the Oesophageal Cancer Fund this Friday 27th & Saturday 28th.

Volunteer. Donate. Share.

Well, there’s been much excitement here at the Lego Lost At Sea HQ because someone has found another Lego shark. This one was found yesterday by Emma Fraser Trecurno at East Portholland beach on the south coast of Cornwall when she was out walking her dog. “The shark was washed up with the seaweed and I only noticed it when my dog Otis knocked the top layer of seaweed with his paw and exposed the tail,” said Emma, who lives in St Austell. “I was with my neighbour when I found it and she told me about the spill. I hadn’t found any Lego before.” Back on 13th February 1997, 51,800 Lego sharks fell into the ocean when a container with nearly five million pieces of Lego inside fell off the cargo ship Tokio Express 20 miles off the coast of Cornwall. Very few Lego sharks from the spill have ever been found.
Thank you so much for sharing your pictures and story with us, Emma.

#WomensArt time to put my photo of this little gem away for another year. Made from seaweed and shells found beach combing on the south east coast of Ireland during the Covid lockdown.

@Helen_Fields Wow! Many thanks for your speedy response Helen 👌 I will certainly do that.

[Ursula Kane Cafferty Author @ukanecafferty]

@Helen_Fields Thank you Helen for all this valuable advice & information. Feedback has been excellent for my book Snappin’ Twine. It has even been shortlisted for a CAP award … but ongoing marketing & distribution is difficult. #books #indieauthor

@sarahbjourno It is also the Alma Mater of Tom Cleary of ‘Suitcase Number Seven- a rugby story with a difference’. 🏉 📕

Huge appreciation to all @chaptersbooks for their hospitality last night at CAP Awards. A wonderful occasion for independent authors such as myself. Snappin’ Twine was honoured to be on the shortlist in the Anthology category. Sending big congrats to winner Corina Duyn. @Aware
