My name is Alienora. I used to be a full-time English teacher (and was known as Miss Browning until 1997, and then Mrs Taylor) – but, since taking early retirement in 2012, I have been a writer.
Divorced, I have a son (now an adult) and live in Ynys Witrin.
In addition to continuing my diary-writing habit (now in its forty-fifth year), I have written over a thousand blog posts – and, since December 2014, published five novels. All five can be found via this link:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alienora-Taylor/e/B00QGUIHFI/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1495889109&sr=1-2-ent
I am now, in May 2017, editing ‘Heneghan’, a novel I wrote in 1984 – and hope to get it published later this year.
I love music, acting, singing, humour, communing with like-minded friends, ritual drama, landscape, reading…
I am a student of the Western Mystery Tradition.
I love that you are in Glastonbury. Marion Zimmer Bradley and Mists of Avalon hold a very special place in my heart, along with the whole genre if discovered after that!

Yes, me too. My mother gave me all three of the original books some years ago, and I have read all of them at least thrice; I have also now seen the ‘Mists of Avalon’ film, which was great. x

Thank you very much – and I love your idea of the daily flash fiction. Very good luck with that.

Thank you. Hopefully it all works out. (If I don’t get sick, arrested, robbed or, the obvious one, die.)

Heehee! Always look on the bright side of life, as the Monty Python team so famously had it in ‘Life of Brian’! If you get a moment free from the Four Horsemen (in your case, Pestilence, Policing, DaylightRobbery and, that old favourite, Death), why not do a guest post for my blog? We could exchange/trade…

I would love that. I’ve been reading some of your posts and they are hilarious and I enjoy your voice. I’m not really sure how guest posting works. I’ve only been doing this about a month. Never blogged or even had an instagram before this so the internet is a bit elusive to me. How does it work? (Also, all the best advice comes from monty python)

Wow! Thanks for good words. What you do is you write a piece – about anything you like, basically – and then send it to me, and I publish it on my blog, with a link to your blog so that a new audience gets to see what you are up to. If you want to go ahead, let me know and I’ll give you my email address.

Ah okay. So that is different than reblogging? It is a whole new piece?

Doesn’t have to be: You could send something you have already written. Doesn’t have to be long! Just something which represents you, I guess.

Okay. Give me a bit to come up with something. Maybe one of my stories or maybe an introduction to the idea. I have to brainstorm a bit and it is dinner time here.
