Loved writing from a very early age, one of my favourite times in primary was free writing where you could choose a postcard picture and write a short story on that picture. It allowed my imagination to run wild, much to the teachers chagrin. 
Discovering fantasy was down to reading the Hobbit at age twelve then seeing the stage show, again with school and my start with the love of reading. Then it was the Fighting Fantasy series that really cemented my desire to delve deep into the genre. 
Dungeons and Dragons then Warhammer followed, allowing me to broaden my stories with fan-fiction and begin creating my own worlds (which I am still expanding and writing to this day)
I look forward to reading fresh ideas and having my own work reviewed to see how I stand up against my peers.
