It is wonderful to welcome back well known author Lucinda E Clarke with her first entry in this year's Travel Story Competition. You may remember her entry from last year entitled THE CHEAP FLIGHT THAT COST PLENTY. Catch up with that first before enjoying her latest story THE DARTS MATCH.
Lucinda E Clarke
When it comes to me talking about me and my books I’m a disaster! Do I mention being abandoned in the African bush with a 9 week old baby? That I’ve lived in 8 countries, in a mansion, a one bed flat and on a boat? Meeting kings, presidents and peasants? Earning my living by writing after I got fired from my teaching post? Or what about that live radio broadcast with a bayonet digging into my neck? I could tell you about running my own video production company, and tales about some of the famous people I’ve worked with. The problem is there is so much it took 3 books to put it all down on paper and that’s only the bits I remember. Then followed four more fiction books. I’m not sure if I’m a clever multi-genre writer or a schizophrenic.
I’m retired now. No, I’m only pretending working 24/7 writing books and trying to sell the wretched things. Once I make the first million or five, I’ll be off sailing round the world scribbling more books on my mega yacht.
