Author has written 15 stories for Romance, Life, and Friendship.

Update (5th November '07):

I am on a temporary hiatus. I'm still working on things but I don't have enough time to dedicate to my projects so things are going a little slowly. However, I am currently working on the next chapter of "Can't Hide In The Shadows" and the penultimate (yes, you heard me right) chapter of "The Black Book Index". Slow and steady wins the race, so watch this space. xx

About me:
I'm an twenty year-old who has three loves in life: my friends, music and writing. Writing started off as a hobby that I've had ever since I was ten and started keeping a diary (still do), but now I'm interested in journalism and am even entertaining dreams of becoming a novelist.

Random facts:
I obsessively love music. I play the Electric Guitar and 'Cello. But not in a band or orchestra, 'cause I get major stage-fright. I used to, but the first time I played in a band in front of people, I think I actually stopped breathing at one point...
I'm hopelessly addicted to the US version of the TV show, 'Queer as Folk'.
I love cooking- and I'm not half bad at it either, if I do say so myself...
I can't fall asleep unless I'm listening to music, to block out all other random night-noises.
I could live in jeans...

Favourite bands:
Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, The Darkness, the Goo Goo Dolls, Guns n Roses, HIM and Led Zeppelin.

Favourite movies:
God, there are so many... Definitely 'Love Actually' (to satisfy the sap within me), the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Pirates of the Caribbean (three words- Depp. Pirate. EYELINER.drool), and Almost Famous ('I am a golden god!' Total rip of Percy...)

Favourite books:
The Lord of the Rings trilogy, '100 Years of Solitude' by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde and Homer's 'Odyssey'.

'Writer's block is sort of like being sexually frustrated... which is hardly ever enjoyable.' Ebony/Lelie

Author's Recommendations: I'd definitely advise you to check out my Favourites lists- anything I have on there is there for a reason; either that the story rocks or the author is a genius. lol
