Writing Portfolio

 

Carol completed an MA in Creative Writing with the Open University in 2023 and is currently editing the first draft of her debut novel Orcaville. This builds on a previous BA in Creative Writing and sending short stories out into the world.

​

Her favourite genre is Speculative Fiction, a mix of Science Fiction and Fantasy as she loves to ask the question - What if?  From a child she was facinated by space travel, tech and what coild be possiblein the future, alongside a love of magical kingdoms and nature.

​

That's why her debut novel Orcaville is based in the Speculative Fiction genre and covers three timelines starting with a female protagonist Alice who sees a whale on the back of a lorry in the 1970's.
