Lately, Felicity just can’t shake the shadow of uncertainty that has pervaded her life. Her husband Quinn is the kindest person she knows and loves her peculiarities more than Felicity feels she deserves. But suddenly it’s as if she doesn’t quite belong.
Then Felicity experiences something extraordinary: a scent of perfume in the air that evokes memories and feelings that have been settled deep within her for a long time, untouched and undisturbed. As it happens again and then again, the memories of a man Felicity hasn’t seen for ten years also flutter to the surface. And so do the feelings of being deeply, exquisitely in love…

Creative Writing Matters, 2014
A new creative writing handbook from the founders of the Exeter Novel Prize.

Margaret James was my tutor for a writing course I did with the London School of Journalism a couple of years ago and her advice was very valuable.

The blurb:
This new handbook takes students through the entire creative writing process. You will find plenty of practical advice, helpful exercises, lots of tips and links to useful websites in this indispensable handbook for new and seasoned writers alike. Continue reading
