I've been writing for about 20 years. It started with a correspondence course and, catching the bug, there followed 3 summer schools. Our tutor on those wonderful occassions, was Stanley Middleton, a Booker Prize Winner in 1975.
Attended a few Creative Writing classes, Writing Weekends and Writing Events and with the encouragement of Arthur Smith,the late editor of Cambrensis, a Welsh literary magazine, had stories published by him.
I've had short stories published in My Weekly and an unpublsihed novel reviewed by Phil Rickman on a BBC Radio Wales programme, 'Now Read On.'
Since joining writewords, I've had flash ficiton published with Bewildering Stories, Micro Horror, Shortstory.us.com, Backhand Stories, Shine Journal, Pygmy Giant, Long Short Story and Apollo's Lyre.
