Apologies to anyone who thought this was a new chapter. I'm having a bit of trouble with writing the next chapter of this book, so I thought I'd give you guys twenty facts about myself so you can learn a bit more about me as an author and a little about me as a person. I've written ten books on Wattpad so far and while I don't always interact with everyone, I do read almost everything you guys comment so what better way to keep in touch with you guys, than a little Author's Corner.


1) I am twenty-three years old. I'll be turning twenty-four in June.

2) I work in the telecoms industry and have been for the past four years.

3) I've only ever had two jobs in my lifetime. My previous one and the one I'm in now.

4) I have one older brother and one older sister.

5) I've been writing now for roughly eight years.

6) I met my girlfriend on Wattpad roughly two years ago now. She messaged me to say how much she liked my book and it just went from there. She's pretty cool (Just in case she's reading this now lol)

7) The General is on its fourth version. After re-writing it three times previous, I deleted them all and decided on the version I'm on now, which is very different to its predecessors.

8) I have a folder on my Mac named 'The Royal Series' which has at least twenty different Word documents of random chapters, scenes from the future/past that never came to be and even a character list.

9) I officially came out to everyone on National Coming Out Day when I was twenty, so it's been over three years now.

10) The first book I ever read on Wattpad was Nothing Left To Lose by Kirsty Moseley (It's honestly a book I will never forget).

11) I'm a massive Harry Potter fan to the point where I have a section of my room dedicated to it (Team Hufflepuff).

12) I started writing The Queen to help myself figure out my own sexuality. It was something I never originally planned to publish onto Wattpad and it definitely wasn't originally going to be part of a four-part series.

13) I have never shown my work to my friends or family and I don't think I will for the foreseeable future at least.

14) My favourite film of all time is the Saw franchise. I can't choose a specific one but I've watched each film at least six times. I have every film saved on my Mac in its own folder.

15) My two celebrity hall passes are Emilia Clarke and Lana Parrilla.

16) I swear like crazy when I'm not at home but I wouldn't dare to swear when I'm around my Mum.

17) I've visited seven countries so far. Barbados, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Egypt, France & Wales.

18) A lot of people have commented that they imagine my characters with a British accent. As I am from England myself, that is very much the way I expected you to imagine their accent, as they are all British.

19) I've never travelled out of the country by myself, but I plan to do so very soon.

20) I was originally not going to bring Callie back to life in The Queen, but my conscience wouldn't allow that. I'm glad though because I more than likely would've regretted it later on.


So there you have it. Twenty random facts about me. Rest assured, the next chapter is happening, I'm just having a bit of trouble with getting it perfect by my own standards. I've written it and re-written it around four times now and will probably keep doing so until I'm happy with it.

In the meantime, I've uploaded a short GXG one-shot collection which you can find on my profile. It's just a cute little set of short stories that I write when I'm bored or if I have writers block with another story so you can read that in the meantime if you want to.

If you have any questions you want to ask me, feel free to leave a comment or you can send me a message, either way is fine by me.

On that note though, I hope to see you all in the next chapter :)
