My interest in psychogeography and walking practices informs much of
my current creative and academic writing. I recently created a labyrinth at Canterbury Christ Church University. I'm
exploring projects that bring together my interest in formal boundaries and cross-over forms with structured
and unstructured walks. Some of the writing to come out of this research appears in my chapbook The Art of Walking. I am setting up a network of women who use walking as part of their creative or academic practice - if this appeals
to you please contact me and follow the dedicated Twitter account @womenwhowalknet. For more on my academic work, articles
and papers see my CCCU profile. Last year I completed a new novel, Eden,
inspired by the act of reading, the power of books and the dangers of interpretation. Weaving together three narrative
strands, it explores and interrogates Ernest Hemingway's strange and wonderfully flawed final novel The Garden
of Eden. Within my novel are an anarchic fictional character, a contemporary reader living vicariously
through the novel, and Hemingway's own life as he was writing, setting aside, and doing battle with his manuscript. Other pieces of writing continue to find their way out into the world
through various means. Keep an eye on the News & Events page for details.
