Writing

‘Six months backwards’ is Mix’s first book,  published in 2018.

Synopsis of ‘six months backwards’:

It was a languid late summer afternoon beside the Mediterranean; a lazy day, a day when nothing happens. But something did happen. The love of her life was lost. It was a sudden, tragic accident, and life was upended, irreparably torn apart. He was woven into the tapestry of her life with seemingly unbreakable thread, and she was undone, broken. Unable to make sense of her loss, she was without words during that terrible winter. Then six months after it happened she began writing a blog, working back day by day to that fateful moment. Navigating her way through the nightmare of grief, this incredibly personal journey includes artwork, poetry, remembered dreams and musings on music. Each date is at once a step closer to the horror of that day, and a step further away, as she reveals how creativity and her circle of love are saving her. This is her story, told backwards.’

 Mix has also contributed short stories to two collections:

Love in the Time of Corona – Covid Chronicles (2021), compiled by Kalyani Sandrapragas, is an inspirational anthology of stories from around the world, coming through the voices of ordinary people, sharing their experiences and reflections of the pandemic.

The short piece ‘Morning Coffee’ is a reflection on Mix’s connection with her father, particularly during phone conversations in lockdown, and the loss of him six weeks after it began.

 Second Chances: Nomaypa Animal Charity: Stories of Hope (2019)

‘Stories of speculation, mystery, romance and thrills; a selection of tales which all have an element of hope. This collection, from writers in The Órgiva Writing Group, is for the animals, via the charity Nomaypa, in Las Alpujarras (Spain).’

 

Mix is currently working on a collection of short stories.
