Chelmsley Wood author publishes first novel

A CHELMSLEY Wood woman who has just published her first novel has encouraged other aspiring writers not to give up.
Avid reader Angela Moore’s interest in creative writing flourished after she started studying for a degree with the Open University.
Originally her studies were a useful distraction from her health problems; Angela suffers with the debilitating hypermobility syndrome (which affects the joints) and her condition deteriorated after an operation on her knee.
After completing a diploma and publishing a number of short poems, she decided to tackle a full-length fiction book.
The novel – The Dark Secrets of Jealousy – is described as a psychological thriller about two sisters from a wealthy background.
The older of the two, Natasha, is packed off to boarding school and blaming her younger sibling, begins to plot revenge.
“Since I read The Secret Garden as a child, I endeavoured to be a writer,” said Angela, aged 31.
“Having health issues has just assisted me to follow my passion.”
And she’s hoping her experience will inspire others to put pen to paper.
“The advice I give is to keep writing, and inspiration will come from the least expected of places.”
You can order the debut novel now from Amazon.com.
Angela also runs a creative writing group every Friday at The Three Trees Centre, in Chelmsley Wood. People are welcome to attend sessions, which run from 10am-12noon.
