Jill Anabona Smith
Involved with IsleWrite creative writing group since its inception, Jill's short stories have been published and won prizes at:- BBC Radio Nottingham, story-tellers.co.uk, Ramsgate Royal Harbour Heritage Festival, Winchester Annual Writers' Conference, Kent Life and Writing magazines. Her work has also featured on BBC Radio Kent Upload.
Her latest novel Four Kinds of Shipwreck, a Pen to Print Book Challenge finalist, sells on Amazon.
She says, 'Writers aren't all only children and all only children don't grow up to be writers. But it helps.
The long silences of an only childhood allow space where ideas can grow.
Telling stories, telling tales, telling the truth, telling lies.
Being somewhere else, being someone else, being someone.
Jill's new novel Saeculum, where Dickens himself is a time traveller, will be published in the autumn.
