My Writing Life

June 10, 2018March 5, 2020 evie gaughan16 Comments

I read somewhere that you don’t become a writer; you discover you are one, and I suppose that’s what happened to me.

A Tale Of Two Timelines

August 24, 2016August 24, 2016 evie gaughanLeave a comment

I enjoy a challenge.  And if I can do it sitting down, all the better.  Cue my obsession with reading and writing dual timelines.   The marmite of the literary world, dual timelines can either thrill or annoy a reader and as a writer of the genre, I’ve found myself oscillating between both emotions on more… Continue reading A Tale Of Two Timelines
