AN APOLOGY
In episodes from a book entitled Once Around The Sun by Steve Harrison which appeared in Open Writing on October 31, November 7 and November 14, 2005, it was said that a Bahrain businessman Mr Akram Miknas had been dilatory in paying wages to Mr Harrison.
Mr Miknas categorically denies this, along with other statements made by Mr Harrison.
We regret and apologise for any distress or embarrassment caused to Mr Miknas.
Once Around The Sun has now been deleted from Open Writing.

A Shout From The Attic
Since Open Writing began in January, 2004, we have managed to do without an About.
Most Web sites have an About Us section. When we were born, 23 months ago, I thought we didn't need one. Our writers are given the freedom to speak for themselves - and they take full advantage of that freedom, in prose and poetry. As of today, there are millions of readable and enjoyable words in our archives - more than 2,200 items. And more are added daily, 365 days a year.
Why add an About to an already-rich literary cake which really needs no icing?
Well, new writers are constantly joining our team. We want to introduce them to you. Writers who are already loyal Open Writing contributors branch out in new directions. We want to whet your appetites by telling you what to expect from them.
We also want to include comments from readers, and draw attention to worthwhile material in our archives which you may overlook.
All this will be done under the title About Our Words.
And the first news in this column is about a new offering from an OW stalwart, Ronnie Bray, who brings us a weekly Letter From America, which is posted every Saturday. His weekly Letters will continue to entertain, move and delight us. But commencing next Tuesday, we will also serialise chapters from Ronnie's autobiography, A Shout From The Attic. You're in for a treat!
Here's an article I wrote for a local newspaper about Ronnie's astonishingly crowded life.
