Welcome
Here you will find news about my various publications and activities - and examples of my writing.
My work rises out of my intense interest in the natural world, art, mythology and history.
As an experienced teacher and workshop leader, I am able to deliver creative activities to all ages, and help everyone to feel that they have tapped into their potential as a writer.
Past courses have taken place in museums, galleries and libraries, focussing on using historic collections to inspire powerful work.
My writing is particularly suited to residencies, as I enjoy working collaboratively and in response to particular objects or buildings.

Poetry:
The poetry collection Flocks of Words was shortlisted for the International Rubery Award . This is what the judges said about it:
"An impressive collection of poems that often exhibit a powerful engagement with the natural world and brim with the joy of it. . . These are the kind of poems that you read and agree with, while thinking you wish you’d thought of the sentiment first. Many of the poems work through the accumulation of detail, which is often very effective, and she is an excellent landscape poet, with a wide range of settings: England, France, Canada, Zimbabwe. The title poem is delightful."

Audiobook:
The audiobook of 'The Errant Hours' is now available on Audible, Amazon and iTunes!
It has been beautifully narrated by Rebecca Sharp - a talented voice actor. I'm delighted with the result, and I hope listeners will be too. Go to Audible
Rebecca and I had a Q&A on Zoom about our experience of preparing the audiobook, our favourite and least favourite characters etc. You can watch the video on YouTube via this link Watch Q&A video
