I'm inspired to write,
the words flow as my mind whirrs;
I catch them in ink.
I've always had a passion for writing - it's in the genes and recently I've reignited that childhood freedom and creativity and started writing poetry and children's stories.
It all began when I was trying to decide whether to have a baby and I felt compelled to write a poem about my struggle. Being a bipolar mother is no mean feat but writing the poem 'Maybe Baby' crystallised for me that it was my greatest desire to have a child. And I'm very proud to say I now have a beautiful daughter who keeps me going on my darkest days.
Over the last few years I've had a few poems published in anthologies which you can buy on Amazon: Writing on the Lake and In the Footsteps of Poets. I also had a poem made into a song by my talented husband which was then used in a BBC programme.
I make gifts and greetings cards with my work which you can find in my shop. The first one, the Iron Jewel is sold in the local pier gift shop too as it's a poem about our iconic Clevedon pier.
