***Jan 2016 - The Budding Roses has been selected as one of the TOP 10 ONE DIRECTION FANFICTIONS worth reading by Sugarscape! http://www.sugarscape.com/bookclub/news/a1085541/10-one-direction-fanfics-worth-reading-january/ ***

I am a Wattpad featured writer currently listed on the Fan fiction featured listed - highest rank TOP 100 for Fan fiction with The Budding Roses.

The Budding Roses is my first novel. I started writing it a loooooong time ago on a flight back from Barcelona when I thought it would be fun to write a funny piece about each of the boys I'd ever known / loved (that adds up to quite a few!). Then one day Harry and Liam came along and whaddya know they just seemed to fit so well with the two male leads. The Budding Roses really grew from there, not only as a fan fic but also as a hommage to so many coming of age stories that I've related to over the years (almost as many as the number of boys I've loved!).

I hope you enjoy reading.
