After a career in libraries, I began writing in retirement and have had writing published in Scribble, Best of British, Tales of the Forest, Flash Fiction Magazine, The Poet, Writers Forum, and To Hull and Back Short Story Anthology, placed in four competitions, shortlisted in five and longlisted by the National Literacy Trust. (Always the bridesmaid…) My verse, "The Year Before Christmas", is available from Amazon and Smashwords as are my books, "Witch Way and other ambiguous stories", "The Godmother", and "Pond People." I live in the Cambridgeshire Fens most of the time, surrounded by flat but ever-changing fields. Other times I live across a garden fence from London’s historic Epping Forest.
