Author A S Bielby

About me I was born in Stockton on Tees to a family living in Middlesbrough. We moved to a village near Whitby in North Yorkshire where I spent many years. I graduated from the University of East Anglia, worked as a Careers Advisor ending up as head of a university careers service. I have two children, two stepchildren and a lovely grandson. The children are grown-up with their own lives.

My husband and I came to Cyprus to live in 2007 after a hectic work life ‘to live the dream’, having finally retired from the property management business.

I have, for many years, wanted to write a book but I didn’t really know how to do it. Having met a member of the Paphos Writers Group, I decided to apply to join so have had a lot of practical help as well as encouragement to write. I am now slowly writing my novel as well as short stories. I met Glynis Smy (author of ‘Ripper, My Love’) recently, whose encouragement and help have given me a new lease of life..

My book ‘Payback Time’ is set in the North of England, as well as the south west of Cyprus. It is a romance/ family drama; how they meet and endeavour to overcome adversity, experience adventures on the way. Will they all make it intact through dark days? Time will tell.

Dear  Jessica,
I hope you read this. I received a copy yesterday of your new little book ‘Show and Tell in a Nutshell’ having been advised to buy it by my good friend Glynis. What an impact it’s had on my writing life already. I’m buzzing!! Having just read the introduction I felt very hopeful that I too could master this. When you’re starting you imagine that established authors haven’t had the same problems; they're super human.

I’ve been reading the content and although I know I’ll have to work hard at it, with this little book at my side, my writing will improve. I feel so empowered this morning. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to help others who are struggling with the concept.

I go to the Paphos Writers’ Group on a Thursday and will be warmly recommending this book to them.

You really are a star!!
Warm Regards and Best wishes for 2013.
Annette
