Creative Writing

I have always enjoyed writing and was first 'published' aged 5 in the school magazine, when I wrote a story about a snail who used a strawberry every morning as her lipstick.

At various times I have attended creative writing courses run by the City Lit, based in London.

Quirky, surreal, short stories have become another 'creative outlet' for me in recent years.

A Fishy Tail - The Story of a Maidmer

The following is a weird and slightly dark/deranged story of a Maidmer (a round the wrong way Mermaid).

I also created the illustrations, which are basically line drawings, scanned into the computer and coloured using Photoshop, with digital photomontage backdrops.
