edit data

Since beginning a comprehensive writing course with The Writers Bureau in 2001, my articles and short stories have been published in a variety of magazines. These include Heritage, Scottish Field, The Lady and People’s Friend. In 2005 a couple of my short stories were included in two quite different anthologies. The first story was in an International Anthology, published in June, while the second appeared in Café Ole – Too Hot To Handle, which was launched in Glasgow during August.

Quotes by Eileen Thornton (?)

“Connie suddenly came up with the suggestion they should start their own dating agency for divorcees only. “Something with a bit of class, and an office in Mayfair,” she'd slurred over her umpteenth glass of wine. After further persuasion, not to mention several more drinks, the others agreed and Divorcees.biz was born.”
― Eileen Thornton, Divorcees.Biz: A Contemporary Romance Novel

“The only people who'll be put off by the venue are the kind of people we don't want anyway. Don't forget, this is going to be a high-class agency. The right people will come and I've lined up a photographer to take some pictures during the evening, as well as photograph every person who joins. He should be here any minute now.”
― Eileen Thornton, Divorcees.Biz: A Contemporary Romance Novel

“That may be,” said Lucy. “But, I think it's extremely unlikely Her Majesty will be coming to sign up to our dating agency. I understand she's happily married.” She frowned. “I still think we should've shopped around.”
