Short Bio.

Introverted, creative and above all else a dreamer.

I’m currently editing my fourth novel, Entangled. A speculative fiction similar to the TV series Fringe. My second and third novels are currently being queried. I love nothing more than reading fantasy novels, but I also enjoy paranormal romance and thrillers.

If I’m not reading or writing, you’ll find me binge-watching TV series, having coffee dates with my friends, practicing yoga and taking woodland walks. My home and heart belong in Wales, in a quaint coastal town, with plenty of beaches to explore.

How to Successfully Start Writing Stories

Ever dreamed of becoming a writer? I know many people have a secret desire to put pen to paper and craft a literature masterpiece. And yet many don’t. Perhaps you believe you don’t have the time or resources. Do you start and stop writing, never getting past the first few pages. I know that’s how I used to write: sporadic and blundering. So if you have grand plans for a debut, yet struggle with being overwhelmed at the prospect of crafting a whole novel… then read on for my getting started tips.

  23. Lorraine, thank you for stopping by Puddletown Reviews recently. I always enjoy meeting new visitors. I was especially pleased when I read you live in Wales. My first “boss” was a fine Welsh gentleman who had come to America to get his college degree and went on to get his doctorate in anatomy. I worked for him quite some time at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. A delightful, fully of practical jokes kind of fellow, I really enjoyed his stories of growing up in Wales. And I love the name Cardigan Bay. There has to be a book centered around that bay!

    Paranormal romance? Well, that’s a new one for me. Sounds quite interesting, that’s for sure. What a unique imagination you must have to create such writing. Cheers!
