Hi, welcome to my website!!
I write Adult fantasy and speculative fiction novels, and gritty short stories. On my blog, I offer inspirational writing tips to help writers pursue their dreams, develop and build their brand, and above all else… keep motivated. I run a creative writing workshop and co-host a group for local entrepreneurs in my area. So don’t forget to subscribe and join me over at my blog.
I’m now offering free critiques on the first five pages of your novel or query letter for all you query-ready writers. Head on over to the ‘Contact me’ page for more information.

Short Bio.
Introverted, creative and above all else a dreamer.
I’m currently editing my fourth novel, Entangled. A speculative fiction similar to the TV series Fringe. My second and third novels are currently being queried. I love nothing more than reading fantasy novels, but I also enjoy paranormal romance and thrillers.
If I’m not reading or writing, you’ll find me binge-watching TV series, having coffee dates with my friends, practicing yoga and taking woodland walks. My home and heart belong in Wales, in a quaint coastal town, with plenty of beaches to explore.

Thanks for stopping by.
Hopes and Fears of a Writer
Are you embarking on the submission/ query phase of your writing journey? Or perhaps like me, you forged ahead only to feel lost, disorientated, and at times disheartened. Well fear not, I have years of experience and I’m here to guide you through it.
How to Hook an Agent
Creating a pitch and delivering it to an agent face-to-face is a unique experience. Daunting? Yes, but with a little preparation you can execute a seamless pitch that will hook the agents interest and have them begging for more material. You’ve got this!!
How to Successfully Start Writing Stories
Ever dreamed of becoming a writer? I know many people have a secret desire to put pen to paper and craft a literature masterpiece. And yet many don’t. Perhaps you believe you don’t have the time or resources. Do you start and stop writing, never getting past the first few pages. I know that’s how…
Your home sounds wonderful! I look forward to finding out more about it and following your reviews in the future.

Lorraine, thank you for stopping by Puddletown Reviews recently. I always enjoy meeting new visitors. I was especially pleased when I read you live in Wales. My first “boss” was a fine Welsh gentleman who had come to America to get his college degree and went on to get his doctorate in anatomy. I worked for him quite some time at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. A delightful, fully of practical jokes kind of fellow, I really enjoyed his stories of growing up in Wales. And I love the name Cardigan Bay. There has to be a book centered around that bay!
