I’m extremely excited to finally share the news about one of my new ventures. A little back story if I may…
So, back in the dreaded year which shall not be named, I embarked on a new venture. You don’t need to tell me about trying to set up a new business in a pandemic – I really don’t recommend it. With more twists and turns than the rollercoaster I was made to go on in Salou, we got there in the end.
The Secret Garden Studios will offer a range of art and writing workshops and much, much more! I think I’ve organised approximately 6.2 million events which have never taken place due to the constantly changing goal posts for running workshops with real people. We did have the option of running them online but we decided the ‘magic’ of our business is the setting itself. Every time I walk into the space and glance out of the window at the secret garden and watch the birds going about their day, it brings a warm glow of inspiration, which we hope all our new friends will enjoy once we open in May – keep everything crossed!
The Stable Studios are based at the back of Gallery 6 on 6 Stodman Street in Newark-On-Trent, directly across from The Prince Rupert pub – this just so happens to be one of my favourite pubs in Newark, so all ‘official’ business meetings might be conducted in here for maximum creative exploration!
You will enter a magical creative world. What delightful adventures will you have? What new crafts will you learn? We hope you will make some wonderful friends when you visit us at the Stable Studio’s and Secret Garden. Glance to the left as you enter and the light from the garden we welcome you into our creative hub.
All you need to know is on our website, so I will leave you to click on the link. There will be lots more pictures to share as the secret garden grows alongside our events – we have lots of plans! Thank you so much for all the support we have already had. Hopefully soon we can organise a wonderful, real life, launch party to show off the Secret Garden Newark Studios.

I look forward to seeing you.

After living in various parts of the UK, including Wakefield, York, Derby, and the Yorkshire Dales, I now live in Nottinghamshire. I enjoy reading, writing (of course), travelling, walking, kayaking, watching all forms of motorbike racing and socialising (networking).
At the beginning of my writing journey, I started a blog which tracks the ups and downs of writing life. ((I need to mention that my blog posts are usually visited by ‘Brackets’!))
A fantasy novel; A Festival of Time: Book One: Escape was my last self-published novel. I’m currently working on editing book two ready for publication and writing book three. Click on ‘books’ on my website to find out more and follow me on social media for updates.
In 2021 I signed an online publishing contact with Saga Fiction. I have three stories published with them and three coming soon!
A bit about my writing journey so far…
I have a story in, The Brinwade Chronicles, which was created with my writing group, the Fosseway Writers. This was published in September 2020 and is a collection of 28 Gothic stories by 13 writers. I’ve also contributed to a Fosseway collaborate novel, Burning Old School Ties and we have another idea in the pipeline!
In February 2019 I was lucky enough to travel to New Zealand. During my time there I wrote a journal about our bucket list 43-day adventure. This has now been turned into a travel guide: 187 Kilometres, turn left - now available on Amazon.
A Christmas Wish, is my third self-published story, which came to life after I’d published a Game of Souls in December 2018. My short story, A night lost to the past, won third place in the Newark Book Festival 2018 writing competition, which was run by the Fosseway Writers group. This was well received, and many readers asked me to develop and expand the story. A Christmas Wish and A night lost to the past have now been reedited and have been published with Saga Fiction.
Never one to let my fingers rest, and in true author style, I have a couple of other projects itching to have their turn! A horror/crime thriller, along the lines of Silence of the Lambs, one of my favourite stories. And a psychological thriller series - book one based in York, book two in Jersey, and book three in New Zealand. One day I will get around to finishing them…
