I wrote short stories, poetry and articles for many years, getting published in small press and mainstream magazines and winning prizes in the odd competition. After a serious motorbike accident, I began writing seriously, studied for an MA in Writing Studies and later for PhD in Creative Writing which I have just completed. 'Consider The Lilies' my first published novel, which tells the story of a feral child, won the Impress Novel Prize for New Writers in 2007 and was published as a result. I'm currently working on a second novel. I live in Skelmersdale, Lancashire and much of my writing is set in and inspired by the regional landscape and the nearby city of Liverpool where I lived for many years before moving here. I'm in several writers' groups which are great for getting feedback on my work. You can read more about me, my friends and my writing on my website, www.carolfenlon.com
My latest published work is the story 'Play With Me' in Radgepacket 5, Tales of the Inner Cities. I enjoy writing for the Radgepacket Anthologies and love getting the latest copy, they are full of hard hitting stories and i don't just say that because I'm in them!
I also have a review of three contemporary short story collections out in the jounal 'Short Fiction in Theory and Practice'. Both of these are available on Amazon
