Truly a heroine!

“We hurtled through the streets of Amman, our tyres screaming in protest as we tore around corners. I could smell the powerful scent of burning rubber in the air. It was terrifying, but not as terrifying as the thought of what those four men would do if they caught up with us.” Does this sound like... Sign in to see full entry.

A first for me!

This is out of character for me, so at the risk of blowing my own trumpet, and thanks to Elinjo’s encouragement, just wanted to tell those of you who are interested in health related topics, that I have been writing on suite 101.
