Hastings Writers' Group - August 1

'We're thrilled that RNIB selected 'Diamonds' to record as a talking book. It's great that many blind and partially-sighted people across the country will now have the opportunity to enjoy our memories,' said Rosemary Bartholomew, Diamonds Co-ordinator. 'As writers, we're keen to support the 'Right to Read' campaign and help visually impaired people enjoy books the same as everyone else.

Through Diamonds, we are also able to sponsor a children's talking book - Kate O'Hearn's fantasy adventure 'Shadow of the Dragon Part One: Kira -' which will be available next year.'

To date, sales of Diamonds have raised 3000, shared between Demelza House Children's Hospice, Xpress Yourself magazine for children in care and RNIB Talking Books Diamonds is available from Hastings Tourist Information and the Conquest Hospital shop at 6.50.
