The Global Goan

 Dear Cyprian,

 

After a few hiccups which resulted in the delay, we are now pleased to announce the release of the March-April issue of our magazine, The Global Goan.  Here is the link to access the magazine:

I am eternally grateful to the myriad of writers who support this project, with their written work which I am sure, the readers will agree, is precious.  You will also notice that this is a bi-monthly issue this time.  The reason is that I will be in Goa in two days time, and I plan to enjoy my time there, meeting up with family and friends.

 

If your creative bug bites you, and you feel inspired to write something for the magazine, please feel welcome to send in your work.  If you need help, we can give that to you too, but please do not give up the thought of writing...

 

Do continue your good work of sharing our magazine link to all your contacts via email and social media too.  As you know, we do have a huge readership, but that is only due to your support and help by way of having forwarded our link in the past.  Looking forward to the same for this issue too.

 

Enjoy the holidays!!

 

With warm regards

 

THE GLOBAL GOAN

A message from Mervyn Maciel from his Hospital Bed
