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.

I'm Home !!

So sorry to have neglected you once again but I had problems getting into my blog.  Although it appears I was the only one.  After wrestling with the problem myself for several weeks I eventually gave in and asked Hubby for help.  And guess what?  Within a minute, yes a minute, he'd fixed the issue.  How does he do that?

So, where are we?  2014 submissions do far is 2.  Doesn't sound a lot does it but compared to this time last year I'm miles ahead.  As you know I submitted my novel 'A Different Corner' to the Richard & Judy Search for a Bestseller and have entered a short story competition too.  As I am not expecting any results until next month I have left a note for the postman to assure him I won't be stalking him for a while yet.

Today booking for Swanwick opened and already I have completed my booking form and I'm ready to run down to the post box.  It's so exciting.  For those of you who are not familiar with the school the website address is www.swanwickwritersschool.org.uk - have a look, try it out I can assure you it won't be something you will ever regret.  New to writing or not, published or not there is something at Swanwick for everybody.  Go on...give it a chance.  It opened up so many doors for me and I met so many fantastic people I cannot recommend it highly enough.  If finance is an issue there is a competition to 'Win your way to Swanwick' - details are also on the website.
