JUST TWO WEEKS<\/h1>\n

BY<\/h1>\n

AMANDA SINGTON-WILLIAMS<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"JUST<\/a><\/p>\n

After being made redundant from a seemingly secure job Jolene Carr takes a two week break in the sun. On the first day she meets Raquel, another hotel guest. Little does she realise how this apparently innocent acquaintance will lead to terrible and lasting consequences. After a frightening incident she hits a conspiracy of silence from the locals and over the rest of the holiday she feels herself slipping into a vortex of fear. Back home, the nightmare continues and she realises that Raquel is stalking her. Her hippie mother and her partner Mark tell her she is imagining it all. All certainties, even about relationships, become fluid and treacherous as her past begins to unravel. If it wasn’t for Rob, her ex-lover who Jolene thinks has his own agenda, she would be left to cope on her own.<\/p>\n

How much fear and betrayal can one person take?<\/p>\n

**********<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

You’ve been published in short story and novel length fiction. Which do you prefer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

They are so different it is very difficult to say which I prefer. Both forms take me a long time and I find both very satisfactory. But I find the plotting and sub-plotting you get in a novel very challenging. But on the other hand a short story must be succinct and convey the narrative in limited time. Sorry I haven\u2019t said which I prefer because I find the question hard to answer!<\/p>\n

Do you have a favourite place to write?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes I do. I have desk which looks out onto our garden and all my books including my dictionary and Thesaurus are close to hand. This space is \u2018mine\u2019 and it is my favourite place to write always improved if our cat Molly is in a nearby chair peacefully snoring.
\nI love music especially jazz and go to as many concerts as I can. However when I am writing I prefer silence.<\/p>\n

Do you like to listen to music or do you prefer complete silence?<\/strong><\/p>\n

see above<\/p>\n

Does your family support you in your writing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Absolutely. My husband is an artist so he need his own space too. Both my children are working overseas at the moment so we interact via skype but yes they are supportive inasmuch as children can be supportive of what their parents get up to!<\/p>\n
