Keeping her Pledge by Dianne Ascroft
After the Allied troops arrived in Northern Ireland during
the Second World War, life would never be the same
again for the locals or the American, British and
Commonwealth servicemen and women. Keeping Her
Pledge is a Short Read (approximately 90 minutes) and
the first title in The Yankee Years series, which weaves
rousing and romantic tales of the people and the era.
Pearl Grainger’s life is much more exciting and fun since
the Allied troops arrived but she is unprepared for the
harsh reality of war, and her RCAF boyfriend is
determined to protect her from it. Can Pearl keep her
pledge to do her bit for the war effort without losing the
man she loves?"

Several WA members, Alyson, Vesna and Jill also have stories on Alfie Dog Fiction
which can be downloaded.
And a couple of photos from WA Members:
The double-toothed barbet is one of the
many exotic birds resident in our Accra
garden. In the photo you can see that his
beak is notched: this is what gives him his
name. His song is quite unusual…like a
long purr. Usually he is quite shy, hiding in
treetops among the palm fronds, but just
last week, I caught him out in the
open…for my Bird on a Wire album.
