I'm a teacher; not English. English was definitely my worst subject in school. Grammar and spelling are not my forte!
I love reading but I'm not a good reader; read a lot of trash. However, I also love a bit of Austen, a good classic and I think the themes of those stories are the ones I end up writing about.

Joined Wattpad to read Star Wars fanfiction to quell my Reylo addiction whilst waiting for the final instalment. However, I thought about how I wanted it to end so much that I thought I'd write my own if only to save my sanity and get some sleep. I loved writing my first fanfic and doing all the research, which is probably why I've written several Star Wars stories and WinterWidow stories, a novel, a bio..... 

Published a novel on Kindle

I'm enjoying it.
