About Empress
Science fiction writer, poet, editor, 1st dan black belt in karate, grade 8 violinist, guitarist, hockey and football player, scuba diver, speaker of Mandarin, actor, debater...
I'm 17 (real name: Bethan, not 'Empress'... surprisingly). 'Empress Fallen' is the name of my first novel, a science fiction space opera which I published on November 9th. It is now available worldwide on Amazon for £8.06 ($15.59) on paperback, and £2.99 ($4.99) on Kindle!
I'm now working on the sequel, 'The Passage of Light', and also a new scifi fantasy series called 'The Nexus Key'!
I have my own author website at http://www.bethanscott.com, and a blog specialising in current affairs and political history at http://www.thepoliticalpixie.wordpress.com.
I'm absolutely mad about writing, and hope to be an award-winning journalist, Editor-in-Chief, author, Nobel laureate, and famous philanthropist (after going to Oxford University!)
I'm happy to chat to anyone about anything.
My favourite novels:
The War of the Worlds by HG Wells
The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
The Host by Stephenie Meyer
Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
My favourite poems:
Ulysses by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri
Invictus by W.E Henley
I predict I may become addicted to YWS...
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
- Alfred, Lord Tennyson
