Writing

F. E. Clark - Writing

I am a writer and artist based in Scotland. The magic and texture of the Scottish landscape inspire my creative practice.
I write flash fiction, poetry and short stories. I am currently compiling a collection of my flash fiction and poetry, and working on my first novel which is set in Scotland.
