Dystopian Books with a slight Coronavirus VIBE.

Fan Fiction
What are your thoughts on fan fiction?

If you follow me on my other social media accounts you might know that I’m taking part in NaNoWriMo this year. What’s NaNoWriMo, you may ask?! It stands for National Novel Writing Month and it’s a challenge writers both new and old take each November to practice their writing habits and write… every day… inContinue reading “NaNoWriMo 2019”
New website design!
Hi! Welcome to my author page! Again. I’m one of those ‘can’t leave well enough alone’ people and I looked at my site the other day and hated it so I’ve just rejigged it a little.
