"Hi Edith,
Nice to meet a fellow spinner. I don't use it at the moment, I'm afraid. But I'd like to get back to it when all the promotion dies down. I find it quite soothing. I learnt as a child. I had a very…"

"Hi Juliet, lovely to 'meet'you! How funny that you too have a spinning wheel. Do you use it? I love spinning(and dyeing and knitting and...all crafts really) but find that it is far too easy to 'do' something rather than sit and…"

Juliet Greenwood commented on the group 'Novelists (Struggling or Not)'
"Hi Deborah! I quite agree, and that's a great post. I think most published novelists have books that will never see the light of day. It takes a long time, and plenty of hard work, to master the writing craft.
I've just had the amazing…"

Profile Information
- Who I am:
- I am a writer living in beautiful Snowdonia, in Wales in the UK.
My first full-length book, ‘Eden’s Garden’ is to be published by the small but mighty Honno Press http://www.honno.co.uk/ in spring 2012. It will also be released as an e-book.
Eden’s Garden is a ‘time-shift’ novel, with two intertwined strands of the story taking place in different eras, as in Kate Morton’s ‘The House at Riverton’. Eden’s Garden follows the Meredith family of Plas Eden, a dilapidated mansion with a collection of mysterious statues in its overgrown garden, and the servants who once served there. If you love ‘Downton Abbey’, this is the book for you!
Under my pen name, Heather Pardoe, I write stories for magazines, and I’m halfway through writing my first serial, which is set in Victorian times during the Welsh gold rush.
I live in a traditional cottage halfway between the romantic Isle of Anglesey and the beautiful mountains and ruined castles of Snowdonia. After living and working in London for over ten years, this may seem remote. But then where else can you find yourself sharing your local supermarket with a duchess, while a real-life prince flies regularly overhead to rescue damsels (and other assorted walkers) in distress?
After taking a degree in English, and a postgraduate degree from Kings College, London, I worked at a variety of jobs, from running a stall at Covent Garden Market to English teacher, until a bout of severe glandular fever left me struggling for ten years with the debilitating effects of M.E.
M.E. was the worst, and the best, thing that ever happened to me. On one hand, it sent me from being able to walk up mountains with ease to struggling to do the simplest of everyday tasks for more than a few minutes at a time. But on the other, it forced me to re-evaluate my life and my priorities. It was the turning point in my life that made me a writer.
I’m now well, and back to dog walking and gardening, and slowly beginning to fulfill my dream of earning my living as a full-time author.

Edith O Nuallain said… Hi Juliet, lovely to 'meet'you! How funny that you too have a spinning wheel. Do you use it? I love spinning(and dyeing and knitting and...all crafts really) but find that it is far too easy to 'do' something rather than sit and write, especially if the muse is hiding!! Doesn't help that there are so many distractions and not enough self-discipline!

MaryLynn Bast said… Hi Juliet,
Thanks for friending me. I am happy to hear that you made it through the process. I am still struggling to get there and keep looking for things that I need to be doing to help my agent get me out there. He keeps telling me to sit back, relax and let him do his job, but I want him to hurry up. :) I know it takes time...deep breath, breathe and relax.

Maggi Summerhill said… Hi Juliet,
Thanks for friending me and replying to my request for interviees.
Amazing that we meet here in New York! We seems we have a few things in common apart from the writing, I really look forward to have a chat and interview you.
I would like to use facebook or gmail as a platform if thats OK with you. I also have a friend in Chicago, who writes for an online newspaper who I think would be very interested in interviewing you as wel if you feel up for it.
In the mean time, would you be able to send me an e-mail telling me abit more about yourself, ME, how you got in to writing and how you feel writing has helped you? This will be for my personal use only - a fast track way to get to know you so I can structure the interview.
I'm wondering if you have had the same nice weather up your way? I hope so.
Enjoy your Sunday.
P.S. I'm curious about the gardening

Shawn Hanel said… Hi Juliet,
Thanks for the kind words. And let me return the compliment. Your profile is amazing. You've accomplished so much. Congrats on your success thus far and for coming through your health problems.
It seems we have something else in common that involves blooming; I love gardening. Here in the US southeast we have a looooong growing season, but it can be brutally hot.
I'll pick up Elissa's Castle and let you know what I think. It sounds like it's right up my ally.

samantha stacia said… Aww thanks Juliet I also found out from Rachael that it actually doen't mean anything, did you see that convo on fb? Kinda silly telling people that-guess its like an honerable mention if they decide not to give you a prize. crazy
Take care of yourself!
Your friend Samantha

Sounds like everything you've thought to add is exactly what I'd suggest.
When would you like to post it? You're welcome to do it this month, if you'd like.
Cheers
