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.

A New Year

Happy New Year to you all.

This year I have decided on less dreaming and wishing and more action.  More of a positive attitude towards my work.

'A Different Corner' the novel I wrote originally for NaNoWriMo has been sent of to Richard & Judy's search for a bestseller.  I could fib and say it was my first submission of 2014 but it had to be submitted by 31 December 2013 - so I won't.  I won't hear anything if at all until later in the year so at least the postman is safe for a while.

I have my eye on a few lesser known short story competitions and an idea for another novel.  Plenty to keep me busy.  NaNo was such a great experience for me and has indeed helped me find my writing mojo again.

Of course any offers, wins you will be the first to know.
