SHIRLEY GOLDEN
Bio
BIO: For years I made up stories in my head and sometimes wrote them down; it's only in the past eight years that I've taken the business of making things up more seriously. I enjoy writing novels, short stories and flash-fiction.
Many of my stories wing their way back to the dark recesses of my laptop where they await further coffee-fuelled sessions of juggling words. Some of my short fiction pieces have found homes in the pages of magazines and anthologies, or in various corners of the internet; a few have won prizes. I'm a big fan of flash-fiction and love the challenge of writing a story in exactly 75 words.
I'm doorkeeper and arbitrator to two wannabe tigers, and can often be found on Twitter when I should be writing.
