about me

I live in North London with my partner of 5 years and have been attempting to write since I could pick up a pen.
I currently work in HR to earn a little extra money whilst trying to pursue that all-impossible dream of seeing my name on a book-spine.

favourite books

Stardust - Neil Gaiman
The Onion Girl - Charles De Lint
Anything by Douglas Adams, Lynda La Plante, Agatha Christie and above all, Terry Pratchett.

Your choice of grammar and wording is perfect but i'm soooo p*ssed off that the second from last page said 'error loading'! I'll re-read when it works, love Alex, hate Ben and completely ... view book

Funny, definitely one for the columns or collection publications. The only thing I would say is, if you're going out clubbing in Essex, what do you expect?!
