about me

i AM CURRENTLY MAKING MY BOOK PRIVATE WHILE i FINISH MY FIRST DRAFT. I WILL POP IN EVERY NOW AND THEN TO SEE HOW MY WRITER FRIENDS ARE DOING BUT APART FROM THAT WILL BE INACTIVE. I MAY READ THE OD BOOK HERE AND THERE BUT ONLY BY CHOICE IF IT CATCHES MY EYE.

SEE YOU ONCE I'VE ACTUALLY DONE SOME WORK!!!!

I am a 35 year old writer, living on the Gold Coast in Australia. I have worked as an entertainment journalist and arts publicist for several years and have had some publishing success with my short stories. I am a member of the BURN Writers Collective and am currently focussing on finishing my first full length work.

I generally write what could be classified as Chick Lit or Romantic Comedy and have two works in progress in this genre (including the one uploaded here). I also have a literary novel on the boil and have a general interest in the supernatural.

The novel that is currently taking up my time is a Romantic Comedy with a Supernatural twist for want of a better term - 'Falling Through' I have uploaded the chapters that have been written so far and will add chapters as they come.

I am happy to swap reads and I will give honest feedback.
I am here to improve my book if it needs it and engage with other writers who want to do the same.

NB I ALWAYS HAVE A LONG WATCHLIST BUT IF I'VE SAID I WILL RETURN YOUR READ, I WILL RETURN YOUR READ. IF I SEEM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN, REMIND ME.

Also, Feel free to just say Hi :)
