About Me

My photo
A fiction writer and mum to three great kids, also lucky enough to be married to the man of my dreams. In spite of that mushy comment I do not write flowery romance - I like a nice helping of real life grit in my work. I have a Diploma in Literature & Creative Writing from The Open University and remain a member of the wonderful Watford Writers, despite moving on several times. I am a big fan of Swanwick Writers Summer School which has taught me a great deal and where I have made many great friends. I have yet to reach the dizzy heights of becoming a published superstar but will continue to send my work out into the world.

Back to Reality

What a long Christmas break I have had.  For the first time in over ten years Carl (Hubby) has been able to have a good chunk of time away from work over the festive period and it has been great.  However, back to reality for us all tomorrow,  Lisa (daughter no. 1) is back to school, Carl is back to work and Cerys (daughter no. 2) is back at school Wednesday.  I am quite looking forward to picking up the old routine you know regular mothers meetings, a good expanse of time to get in some worthwhile writing and of course that not so loved task of housework.

I have gradually got used to my new phone but it certainly takes a while.  It was a gift from Carl who is keen for me to not get stuck in the past bless him, there are several things I will never change but I will raise to that challenge when I need to.

Three big competitions to get ready for in the next few months so I will have my work cut out so no daytime TV for a while and no Phil & Holly - still, sacrifices need to be made.
