Tales From The Creative Casa

Available today on Kindle 
and in paperback from Monday 8th September

Introduction to this collection

Picture
The Creative Casa is a farmhouse in Andalucia where, for a while, we ran workshops and explored how to find the creative spark in ourselves; to discover where it sits, nudging us all the time, wanting to be let out to add fulfilment to our lives.

This collection of short stories was edited at The Creative Casa and the stories have been selected from a large number written over a period of years. The themes I have chosen here are universal themes of love and loss, secrets and lies; the unintended consequences of past actions on the present; and young women at that threshold in their lives where they discover that they are carrying new life. 

They are sometimes humorous with a light heart, real life with a little magic, and occasionally, real life which doesn’t end so well. I also like to write short stories where the possibilities begin as the story ends.

Some have previously been published in magazines whilst others are openings and jumping off points for longer works of fiction. They vary in length, motivation and inspiration.

In the end, all fiction draws from the well of creativity which needs to be nurtured. It springs from our experiences, observations, snippets overheard, and a life lived.....and we can all draw from that spring if we are nudged towards it.

Coming soon on Amazon and Kindle

    Check out my BLOG here: The stories behind the stories. 
    This is where I explore the themes and ideas behind my novels.
    The backstories of the characters and how they came about.
    Where the ideas come from and how they grow into a story. And how my own life experiences feed the constant, fast flowing stream of stories and ideas.
