A WORD FROM JAN NEWTON
I
wrote my first novel when I was seven, all about the adventures of a little
green one-legged spaceman, who crash-landed his tiny ship in my north
Manchester suburb. We had plenty of
adventures, Fred and me, filling fourteen Lancashire Education Committee
exercise books and earning me two gold stars in the process. But when I was eight, a rotund Welsh Mountain
Pony by the name of Pixie trotted into my life, and writing was immediately
relegated in favour of all things equine.
It
took more years than I care to admit for me to resume my writing career. In 2005 we moved to gloriously inspiring mid
Wales. In 2009 I stumbled across an Open
University creative writing module and the rest, as they say, is history. After completing my OU degree, I fulfilled a
lifetime ambition and enrolled on an MA course at Swansea University. The whole experience was magical. It was like being taken by the hand and led
back to a place where my imagination could run riot.
I
began by writing short stories, which I love, but I always feel disappointed
when I have to say goodbye to my characters so soon, and so the next challenge
was to attempt a novel. It’s been a
fantastic experience, from its shaky start in a brand new exercise book, but
now, finally, I have my second novel. I
still have a horse – this one’s been with me for over twenty years - but these
days I seem to be able to allow the two obsessions – books and horses – to run
side by side.
