I was born in Oxford, England and lived there until I was two then moved to Germany. When I was six I moved to Wincester, England about 100 odd miles away from London and not that far away from Oxford. I then moved to Edinburgh when I was 10 and moved (for the last time) to Kirkcaldy, Scoltand when I was nearly 13.
I have struggled over the years with bullying and it has changed me compleatly. For the better or for the worse, I don't know and I don't think I will ever find out. My talents are my intrests (suprisingly enough). I haven't won many awards. Just for being a good girl at school and reading lots of books. When I was in England and Germany all of the teachers thought that I was stupid and that I wouldn't amount to anything yet when I moved up to Scotland I was classififed as being a persn who will have a nice comfortable life when they grow up due to my intelligence and will power.
I remeber the first story I ever wrote. It was about Deacon Brodie, in primary 6 (2nd last year of Primary School) and it was the longest in the class. I was told by my teacher, Mrs Mckenzie to go to Mrs Lumbsden ( the headmistress) and tell her that I was too read my story too her. I did exactly that and when I was finished she just sat and looked at me standing there for about 3 minutes before she said anything. She said that it was a wonderful piece and gave me the headteachers award which I still have and treasure enormusly. She actually walked me back to my class and spoke to Mrs Mckenzie and they both told me there and then that I could be the next JK Rowling. I was stunned by what they had said for at the time I held JK Rowling in the highest of esteem and she was my favourite author. Now of course I have discovered Eoin Colfer, CS Lewis, Charles Dickens and Lemony Snicket (eve though he is very depressing).
I kept on writing stories from there on in and then, one summer holiday when I was 12 I decided to write down this game I was going to pay and gradually it became a book. It took me one whole year to write all 78 pages of it and it was called HIM RISES. Now that I compare it to my other writings it seems rather poor but I modified it and made it better and am still doing that to this day. I decied to write other stories that I would make into the HIM collection. HIM RISES, was actually the 3rd in the collection. The first was HIM JUNIOR, followed by HIM, then HIM RISES, HIM FALLS and finally HIM LIVES. You may be wondering who or what HIM is. I'm not going to tell you right now but if yo ask nicely I might just let it slip.
After the HIM Collection I decided to try stories which weren't so, odd. Thus Curiosity killed the cat, Layden Lady, Hound of the Hunt and Couple Hell. More stories were still to come. I decided one day that I would try going back to the whole unusual sotries. Eden and Spiriter fell into this catagory.
And now, in my current state I am writing Dorson's Girl. The story about the young girl (a witch and she never knew it) who died, became a woman and the most feared creature to ever walk this Earth. Everyone knew her name, even the little children who understood hardly anything. Many people didn't know what she was but they knew who she was and what she did. Dorsons' Girl is her story and snippets of the stories of people who play a part in her life.

Eoin Colfer rocks!1 I FRIGGIN LOVE HIM!! *does a dance for Artemis Fowl, too, and is sure there's going to be a sixth book*
And man, I wish my teachers were that cool. I wrote a story about a soldeir boy who wanted peace and his farmer boy brother who wanted adventure and they switched. She told me that I shouldn't be writing this crud, that I should be doing My stupid essay. Jerk.
Anyway, I hope you prove your old teachers wrong and your cool teachers right!! Good luck and WRITE ON!!!
So who or what is HIM? *asks ever so nicely* I admire you for being able to put so much in your bio, I can never think of anything of interest to put down in mine. Yours is great though. I tried to put something in mine and I was just: '"............okay, screw this." *walks away*'
Hey, we joined the site the same day! I know that's not relevant to anything, but it's kinda cool isn't it?
