FICTION

Truth may be stranger than fiction, but fiction is still fun to read and to write.

​

At school, creative writing assignments were always my favourite homework. But once I had left school, I didn't write a lot of fiction except for a story or two for the children in my life.

​

Then in 2019, I discovered a challenge called Furious Fiction - write a story using prompts, under 500 words, in a weekend. I entered. I was long-listed. They had me hooked. ​I have entered Furious Fiction at every opportunity since then and have been long-listed a number of times, and short listed once.

I write the odd story in between. In October 2024, I was delighted to win the mindshare Creative Writing Award after having two pieces shortlisted. Additionally, I have four 42-word stories in The 42 Stories Anthology (available from Amazon).
