Examples of her work

Jacqueline is prolific in her writing and the stories below will change so do check back regularly.  

Here are a few examples:

Dribbles and Drabbles -

IDEAL GIFT 

‘A piss pot?!’, she screamed. ‘I know I said I wanted a surprise Christmas present, but really!!’

‘It’s not a piss pot mum. It’s a plant holder’.

‘A plant holder? with a handle?! It’s a piss pot!!’

Toby slunk away wondering if he would ever be able to please her.

 This is a dribble of 50 words

SERGEANT TAYLOR

Sergeant Taylor, first on the scene, pauses by the child lying dead in the road then makes his way to the Mini containing a distraught young woman.

‘What happened?’ he asks leaning in through the driver’s door.

‘I didn’t see him’, she sobs.

Taylor spots the phone in her hand.

‘Were you texting?’

She doesn’t reply.

Taylor sighs, prises it from her clenched fingers and surreptitiously slips it into his pocket.

Straightening up, he notices his partner has just arrived and walks over to join him. ‘My daughter said the kid suddenly ran out in front of her’, he says.

  This is a drabble of 100 words 

HAIKUS -

The haiku is a Japanese poetic form that consists of three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. Jacqueline has used this form to create stories (nano-fiction).
