Author Bio: Where to start! I live in Surrey, England, I work full-time for an I.T company, and am currently a Project Coordinator. I started writing when I was fourteen. Before I started Secondary School, I struggled with reading. It was when I was about eleven or twelve that I started going to the library and I found the books which interested me. Since then I’ve become a reader and a writer and my English is better than ever. I love writing and hope it can be something I can continue to do as my life goes on.
