This was exciting enough, but then to see my name projected on the wall as one of the authors appearing at the Emirates Airlines Festival 2012 when Isobel Abulhoul, Festival Director, made the announcement....well I confessed I gasped and the kind Emirati poet beside smiled.
It was also a brilliant opportunity to meet other local authors who will be appearing at the festival and to see the wonderful new facility in the heart of the Bastikiya, my favourite part of Dubai. Since my first involvement I have met so many interesting people and learned so much. I just can't wait for this year's festival.... And here's the link proving to me that I haven't been dreaming here....

Absolutely brilliant, your name up in lights. Looks like excellent marketing material to me. All your hard work is paying dividends, well done.
I couldn't comment the other day for some reason.
This sounds so exciting, I'm thrilled for you Liz and can't wait to hear all about it.
