My roots are very firmly Cornish, and although I was born in Liskeard, I haven't lived there since I was six and we moved 'upcountry' to Devon. Since then I've been moving even more 'upcountry', to Bristol where I did my teacher training, to Forest Gate in Newham where I had my first teaching, and from there to Oxford, where I worked for BT for three years, and then Waltham Abbey.

Welcome to my Sheena is Writing Blog
For my first post I'm kicking things off with a whistle-stop tour of all the books I read in 2023. It seemed as as good a place to start as any. I'm planning for the articles on my blog to be all about reading and writing fiction. So if that's your thing, watch this space.
Okay, strap yourselves in. Oh, and by the way, some of the titles I've reviewed in my newsl Read more of this blog post »

I found this book deeply disturbing on so many levels. I stuck it out to the end, hoping for something positive but no. If anything it got darker! It's a shame because there were some passages of writing I enjoyed. ...more
