Genre: Fiction, Supernatural Love Excerpt: “She blew a warm breeze on his face and rustled his hair and embraced him in a warm haze and he felt her nonthreatening presence. She looked down and saw his face stained with tears, nobody could reach him in his grief but she could. He saw her and blew her a kiss goodbye. She flew down in a haze in a white dress with wings and whispered into his ear “please don’t cry I am in a better place. Marriage is forever. Love and life is forever. My body died but my soul lives on for eternity”. (Katie) “The rain stopped suddenly and the grey sky cleared into a bright blue colour and a glowing warm orange sun appeared to show her appreciation. A perfect blue sky remained on the dark winter’s day until after the ceremony and the hailstone and rain commenced again and the dark sky reappeared as the funeral car drove away”. (Katie’s Burial)

INFLUENCES

  • Maeve Binchy - the great Irish storyteller Cathy Kelly - I saw her being interviewed on The Late Late Show and she said to all writers just start writing one word at a time. Too many people want to and never do it. So I took her advice and began writing.
