: About Me

I always loved writing. During school it was my escape from bullying. I would always be found in my room writing stories. English was my favourite subject throughout school and I loved to do projects and essays.

After school I stopped writing as much and my writing skills have gotten incredibly rusty! I have decided to take up writing again so my work isn't exactly top notch at the moment but I hope to be back on form again!

I am a full-time mum to a 4 month old daughter. I have been with my partner for nearly 4 years and we have been living together for a year. We have 2 lovely cats, Oscar & Tobey.

My childhood ambition ...

Why I write ...
