Author has written 1 story for Essay. Who Am I? I am a young(ish) agented writer in my twenties, recently graduated and writing a multitude of books, the main two being Aurath and The Dark Witch. If you have the time (or are just procrastinating) then I'd like you to wander on by my site and have a look around. You can find out more about me and my writing but don't leave without checking out my links page for some great websites for writers. The site is misswriter and I hope you'll drop by and leave a sentence or two in my guestbook. Thanks. What I'm Currently Up To: My current work in progress is a fantasy novel titled The Dark Witch. I'm 77,000 words through with an aim of 120,000 words. It's kind of my pride and joy, but after seven years and two false starts I do want to finish this in the near future. I'm also working on a YA urban fantasy series set in a supernatural second world hidden from most eyes. I've recently finished editing the first in the series, The Circle, for the forth time and I'm currently waiting impatiently for feedback on it. Set in the same universe is another series I'm writing: Black Blood. At the moment I'm still drafting it but I'm hoping to get a big chunk of it finished during NaNo. And that's what I'm up to. Note: I repay reviews but unless you ask for honest constructive criticism I'm just gonna hand over my general thoughts.
