That girl who was always a little strange, a little on the fringes of normal, always with a book in her hand or a faraway look in her eyes...that's me!

I have been in love with stories for as long as I can remember. I was - and still am - inspired by Jacqueline Wilson, JK Rowling, Meg Rosoff, the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen and Louisa Reid among many others. I love fairy tales, and certain fantasy books, but realistic fiction will always have a place in my heart.

Outside of books, my passions include Disney films and soundtracks (Beauty and the Beast will always be my favourite!), History (especially medieval, Tudor and Victorian) (and not military) and singing.
