A graphic designer and copywriter by trade, I came to live in beautiful rural Herefordshire sixteen years ago with my husband, son and various pets. My first attempt at writing was a novel, Neighbourhood Watch, inspired by some strange events in our village. Since then I have learned much more about writing through such peer review sites as youwriteon, The Writing Asylum and The Bookshed and realise my baby needs a lot more work if it is ever to see the light of day.
My next piece was a short story, and the next, and the next… Fifteen of these are now published in Triclops, a joint anthology with two extremely talented writers I met on youwriteon. The book contains forty short stories and is available to order through Amazon, AbeBooks, Alibris and Barns and Noble.
The rest of my stories I submit to the occasional competition and, having been placed third, fourth and, recently, first in Flash500, won Circalit Story of the Month and had several published, one as a podcast by Words with Jam and two as apps by Ether Books, I am slightly more optimistic.
Between May and September 2010 I wrote nearly a hundred twitter-length stories, some of which are now forming the basis of longer pieces. I particularly enjoy writing in short formats, flash fiction being my current favourite.
All comments on posts and work are very welcome!

You are doing well, Sue. May you go further.
I’ll be reading Triclops.

That’s very kind, Harry. Good luck to you too.
Hi Sue,
YWO’s Jack Palache here. I’ve finally created my own website (under my real-life name) and have added yours to my ‘Recommended sites’ link. Unless I hear otherwise, I’ll assume you have no objection.
My site is mainly a professional one (read ‘looking for work’), but it includes some elements of an author’s website as well. If you find time I’d be happy to hear your thoughts about it. It’s still very much a WIP.
All the best with your excellent – and very active – site.
