about me

Writing has always been my passion, and I have spent many year juggling the art of gaining a tolerable education with creating stories for my own entertainment. Like so many others, fanfiction has provided the calm waters for my efforts for many years.

The call of original fiction has been evaded for quite some time, and my efforts as of 2011 are relatively few. Back in 2003 I wrote my first short story “Found” and was delighted and surprised when it won a quarter finalist place in the Writers of the Future competition.

Since that time I focussed on getting a degree or two and starting a family, and it ws not until 2010 that I entered National Novel Writing Month and began Relic, my first full-length original manuscript.

Relic garnered some preliminary interest from literary agents, but as yet it remain s unpublished. If you want to read more of it than is posted on authonomy, please check out my writing portfolio at http://gracebertram.com.

When I’m not writing, I’m busy preparing my toddler for the hectic world of school, keeping my husband fed and happy, and running my own business. However, I gravitate back towards the written word like a moth to a flame and can often be found at my keyboard at random hours of the day and night.

Apparently this behaviour is quite normal.
