Phyllida Shrimpton
“Author by the Water”
Award winning author of contemporary and uplifting fiction.
Hello and welcome to my website. My name is Phyllida (aka Phyllie) and I am delighted to share with you how my passion for writing uplifting fiction has resulted in four published novels…so far...
Since writing my first two novels suitable for the YA market, I now write adult contemporary fiction very much linked to a water theme; be it the sea, rivers, lakes or canals.
I am currently working on my fifth novel which I am very excited about. It will have boats and water, love and adversity, present day but also WW2 and oh, so much more…

Published books
Four stand alone novels which explore relationships and love in all its many forms
For readers of Persian
Sunflowers in Winter

A little more than just a story!
As far as I am concerned, there are stories simply everywhere. In a world where life will throw lemons on a regular basis, I like to work out how to make lemonade.
With this in mind, I spend most of my time lost in the thousands of words that inevitably come tumbling out of every situation I come across or hear about. Some might call me distracted or lost in thought and others might call me absent minded…I call me a writer.
