I was born in August 1990 in South Yorkshire. When I was growing up I found it very hard to get into reading books as I wasn't the strongest reader. During my teens however I found a series of books, The Saga of Darren Shan, that enthralled me; which was very uncharacteristic of me at the time.

From a very young age I had an uncontrollable imagination. At home and at school I would spend many hours, when I should have been studying, drawing and daydreaming. In my mind I would create many different worlds and creatures.

In my early twenties I met my current partner who is herself an aspiring author. She encouraged me to turn my hand to writing. At first I struggled, and had a couple of false starts. I would write the first few chapters of a novel before deciding that it was not viable and then abandon it.

The trial and error of creating these novels proved good experience for me, and I soon produced a skeleton plot that I was reasonably happy with. Now, through time and hard work, I have managed to develop this plot into my first fully fledged manucript.
