Can men do it?

Can they write women's fiction?

Yes they can and just to prove it, check out this month's Fiction Feast. Turn to page 46 read and enjoy Wrekin Writer Simon Whaley's story 'Chief suspect Mickey Mouse.'

Well done Simon. I know it's taken Simon a long time to get a story in this magazine but determination, hard work and knowing his market has all paid off. A lesson for us all.

For more information on Simon and his work check out his website at www.simonwhaley.co.uk or follow his blog at http://simonwhaleytutor.blogspot.com

  1. Hi, Sue. Yes it's taken him ages to get one in there and I'm hot on his tails trying to get one of mine in this mag too! He's done very well. It's not only his writing talent that has got him where he is but his determination too - and that's the key.

    Don't tell him this, we don't want his head growing any bigger, but he is a true inspiration and he is so helpful, giving advice to us writers. I know I wouldn't be doing half of what I've achieved without his, and the group's encouragement and support. Thank you.

  4. Hi Sue, on our last three days in the Trossachs, off to Scone Castle tomorrow. So pleased it brought back some happy memories for you...off to Berwick and the bookshops on Monday, the poor little Fiesta will be relieved, we stopped suddenly at a pedestrian crossing and one box shot forward and thumped me in the back :-)
    Love and hugs....xxx
