A huge thank you to Helen for inviting me to do a spotlight on her famous Blog.
I am Pauline Barclay, born in Yorkshire, UK, far too many moons ago. I have lived in many locations both within and outside the UK.
My passion is to write about events that happen in life and change everything for those involved as well as those caught up in the maelstrom. I want my characters to sit at your side, steal your attention and sweep you up in their story. Stories that will bring tears to your eyes, have you laughing out loud and sometimes, what they share with you, will stay in your heart for a very long time.
I have nine published novels; two cosy mysteries, I am busy writing number three! Also two humorous and heartwarming reads. In fact, these two books are about a very bubbly lady, Doreen Wilkinson who won the lottery. It all sounds like a dream come true and whilst Doreen encountered difficulties beyond her imagination, she handled everything with a giggle and never lost her crazy personality. As well as these four books there are five emotional reads; reads that will make you laugh and at the same time have you reaching for your tissue. www.paulinebarclay.co.uk
When not writing I try to fit in many things. Back in October, I ran the Norwich 10km. The weather was wild and very wet. It hammered down throughout the course and I could not have been wetter had I fallen in the river Wensum. Despite the weather it was a great run and even more as thanks too many wonderful people, I raised over £360 for a local charity. And would I do it again… yes!
I am also the founder of Chill Awards for independent authors. I set this Award Programme up over six years ago. The idea then, and still is today, is to help shine a light on great books from indie authors. www.chillwithabook.com
Last year I started doing podcasts – Celebrating Success and I love it. I’ve had a wonderful mix of guests coming along talking about their success. So far there has been authors, a ball room dancer, a double ironman, an island to island swimmer, a property director and much more. https://paulinebarclay.podbean.com
In between everything above, I love to cook, knit, read, walk our dog, run, take my camera out and photograph wildlife and anything that takes my eye. I just love to keep busy. Phew! I think that about sums me up! I won’t set the world on fire, but I’ll have a dam good try! *laugh*
Thank you so much for reading this and once again a HUGE thank you to one of the kindest people on the planet, Helen Hollick.
You can catch up with me on all social media platforms and through my web site. I hope you will. Until we meet again, ta ta for now!
