Lucy the Girl in the Window Update (now available in Burmese)

I was surprised to discover the other day that my story ‘Lucy the Girl in the Window’ has now been ‘unnofficially’ translated into Burmese.  The translator includes a link to this blog for the English version (thanks).  Take a look if you have time. 

Burma gained independence from Great Britain in 1948 however it has had a troubled history.  The people there are at present far from free or independent under a military regime that is no stranger to abuses of human rights.  Lets hope that the military junta  realise that membership of and cooperation with the international community is a far better course than financing their stranglehold on their own people by selling hard drugs and squandering their natural resources (with no regard for the environment) to the highest bidder.  I have been a supporter of the release of Aung San Suu Kyi for many years.  I have a great respect for ordinary Burmese people and Burmese culture.

 Here I am an an unsigned and largely unpublished writer already available in other languages – the first somewhat ironically Burmese.
