Contributor to Issues 5 & 7, Marc Thomas, still just 22, is now a happily married man, after tying the knot with his girlfriend of some years, Hannah.

The happy couple were seen out walking beneath one of the railway bridges in Cathays, each with smiles beaming from ear to ear. I chose to pick at a small spot on my cheek whilst walking with them, which then chose to bleed obstreperously. Fortunately, a nearby news vendor was on hand to lend a hand by selling me a 50p packet of tissues, easing my difficulties in dealing with this self-inflicted strain.

For any publisher that is reading this, Marc has completed an excellent novel titled "The Cloud" - seriously, with a few tweaks, I think it could be a contendor for the Dylan Thomas prize. An offer of publication would surely ease the newlyweds' financial worries in these difficult times. Whether you'd like to wish Marc and Hannah well, or if you'd like to offer him some hard cash to buy the publishing rights to his book, Marc can be contacted via themarcthomas@gmail.com
