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.

They Seek Him Here...

Well, what to say?  As some of you may remember I was finding it hard to find the time to sit down and write due to extended family issues.  I don't like to discuss my personal issues on here so all I will say is that things are no longer as fraught as they were.  Time to write then?  Unfortunately not.  Hubby and I have decided that I should go out to work, its only fair.  In September Cerys will be going up to secondary school and although Hubby has doe a wonderful job in supporting us all for many years, I would really like to contribute.

Now, searching for a job is no easy feat - some of the websites are more complicated that those logic puzzles you used to see years ago on "The Krypton Factor" (for those who can remember it).  Why make it so difficult?  Still I'm not one to give up at the first hurdle and have already applied for a few jobs.  Although initially I was scared at losing my writing time on reflection I think it may give me a more structured routine.  Sometimes the more time you have the less you actually do with it, or maybe that's just me.

No news yet on any submissions or competition entries but I live in hope and have a new idea which is in such an early stage of its development, I won't share it with you yet.

I am counting down the days until Swanwick Writers Summer School in August and looking forward to seeing some well loved and familiar faces.  If you fancy it look it up on line, I'm sure there is still time to book yourself a place.
