about me

I've been reading and writing since a very young age and now, with my first novel completed at 55,000 words, I want to make people aware of my book. By being a member of this writing community, I hope to be able to draw on the points of view of other writers to improve my work and hopefully become published. Authonomy was recommended to me by a published author - it seems like a lot of valuable discussions and discoveries take place here! 
As an avid reader of many genres, I'll also be reading and commenting on the work of other Authonomists. 

THANK YOU to all the people who back my book but don't allow messages on their profiles.

The Boy From The Next Dimensio....

Isabel Parkinson

One pre-planned encounter changes her life forever...


Natalie was a normal teenage girl. Her priorities were schoolwork, her friends, and competing on her new pony.
That all changes after a chance meeting with a strange boy from another dimension of this world, a dimension which faces dire problems of its own. Natalie finds herself swept up in a tidal wave of danger, excitement, mystery, and endless opportunities.
But what started out as fun quickly turns into a terrifying fight for her life and the lives of the people she loves. Natalie is faced with impossible decisions, conflicting emotions, and dark secrets – secrets about the people she thought she could trust.

Sorry for the delay, but here's my half of our read swap. This isn't the kind of book I'd usually read, but the pitch is attractive and I enjoyed the book even more than I thought I would. You have a clever way of using one or two strong descriptive words where other authors might be tempted to use... view book

Sorry for the delay, but here are my comments as promised. This is everything I want in a YA novel. There’s excitement, intrigue, immaculately written narrative, an original storyline, and I loved the way you separated Coo’s (excellent name, by the way) experiences from the main plotline using ital... view book

This is a refreshing, realistic, and utterly likeable take on Christian fiction. Honey's initial difficulties make us feel sympathy for her - always a good way to start a story - but she is flawed too, and that becomes clearer as the story progresses. I can't wait to read to the end, to share in her... view book

I read everything that you've uploaded and wanted to read the next part, so well done with that! You write very well, and I found it easy to understand the relationships between the characters and how they developed throughout the story. I particularly liked the idea of Giovanni cheating, and Kara... view book

I like this a lot. It’s a refreshing, interesting, and imaginative take on YA fiction. Your writing is smooth, realistic, and clearly well thought-out. Shelly is a likeable character and her difficulties help the reader to develop sympathy for her. The line ‘laughter fluttered around like gnats’ i... view book
