Hi! I’m Fay.

In no particular order I am a mum, lecturer, author, blogger, knitter, student, committed Christian, children’s worker and mad scientist.

Sources close to the author (who wish to retain anonymity in the interests of national security) report that “Fay would out-tigger Tigger for energy and enthusiasm”. I say nothing to deny or confirm.

I write The Reflectionary (www.reflectionary.org), a weekly blog of lectionary-based resources for churches, youth-groups, children’s work and schools’ ministry. Popular materials are the crafts, and activities related to the readings, the printables and the scripts. I’m also a trainee lay minister in the Church of England.

When not writing or studying, I teach maths for a living and spend most of the rest of the time being creative. I live in a messy house in the middle of England full of noise and glue sticks and mess, which I blame on the children, (but really it’s me).

I'm Allison Symes. I write flash fiction and short stories.

I have been published online and in print by Bridge House Publishing, Cafelit, Iron Press and Chapeltown Books, who published my first flash fiction collection, From Light to Dark and Back Again in 2017.

I'm delighted to say my second flash fiction collection, Tripping The Flash Fantastic, has now been published by Chapeltown Books.

I was one of the winners of the 2020 Waterloo Arts Festival Writing Competition with my story, Books and the Barbarians. I've been one of the winners for this competition three years in a row. Please see Transforming Communities, To Be...To Become and Transforming Being as these are the compilations of the winning entries. Later in 2020 there should be a paperback of these three ebooks.

I also blog for Chandler's Ford Today, an online community magazine, and usually on topics of interest to other writers. I also write for online writing magazine, Writers' Narrative, and am one of their team of editors. I am also a freelance editor and run workshops on that and on flash fiction.

I grew up in the Netherlands, and moved to England soon after finishing my teaching training college. Married to Pastor Richard Mortimer we live in a Cotswold village with our four children. I'm a homeschool mum, enjoying the time spent with the family, travelling, reading and turning life into stories. I want to use my stories to show practical Christian living in a fallen world.

Joy Margetts has loved writing for as long as she can remember. A retired nurse, mother of two, and a new grandparent, she also has a lifelong interest in history, and loves nothing better than visiting ancient monuments or burying herself in archive material. She was brought up in the South of England but for the last twenty five years has made her home on the beautiful North Wales coast, and her writing is inspired by the landscapes and spiritual heritage of her adopted homeland.

Joy loves studying and teaching the Word of God, and her writing is inspired by her own experience of God's redemptive work in her life.
