I also wrote an article ‘ Look on the Bright Side of Life’ that was included in the 2016 book ‘ They Say I’m Doing Well’ which contains articles about mental illness, (proceeds go to the charity MIND). One of my short stories, ‘ Lifting the Black Dog’, was published in ‘1000 Words or Less Flash Fiction Collection’ (2016). I like to focus on Romantic Suspense, Humour, Paranormal stories, and Women’s Fiction (family dramas). By this time my two sons had left home and I had more time to myself. However, I did not take up writing seriously until 2013. After winning an inter-schools’ writing contest, I began to keep a diary and often added little stories and poems to it as the years went by. I grew up in the East End of London and was fortunate enough to attend an excellent primary school which encouraged creative writing.

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things by Kait Carson.Learning by Teaching by Annette Dashofy.A little less conversation and a lot more action are called for if Davis has any chance of saving herself, her family, her marriage, her job, and the heartbreak hotel she calls home. What she gets is her home invaded by hard-headed women, a soft-hearted little man, and major carpet troubles, the combination of which sends Davis’s already suspicious mind into overdrive, landing her between a jailhouse rock and a very hard place. If Davis doesn’t find the little old lady and the money fast, she’ll lose what’s left of her job, at which point, there goes her Bellissimo everything. What she needs is a good luck charm. With five million dollars. Davis just can’t help believing Birdy didn’t do it, if for no other reason, she’s too old to spend it. The quarter-time job she’s left with is lulling her to sleep, exactly what she’s doing when Birdy James, centenarian director of the casino’s Lost and Found department, disappears. Davis Way Cole smells T-R-O-U-B-L-E when she’s fired from half of her part-time job at the Bellissimo Resort and Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi. After a while, Maggie starts to realize that losing her sight doesn't have to mean losing everything she dreamed of. Ben's life isn't easy, but he doesn't see limits, only possibilities. But only one person: Ben, a precocious ten-year-old unlike anyone she's ever met. Then Maggie's whole world is turned upside down. But she isn't interested in rehabilitation, not when she's still mourning the loss of her professional-soccer dreams, and furious at her so-called friends, who lost interest in her as soon as she could no longer lead the team to victory. Ever since losing her sight six months ago, Maggie's rebellious streak has taken on a life of its own, culminating with an elaborate school prank. Maggie Sanders might be blind, but she won't invite anyone to her pity party. |
