When I first started reading fanfic, I was working two low-paying part-time jobs; one in wedding hospitality, one in a cerebral palsy study.
I started writing fanfic... and felt that I was kind of good at it.
So, I went back to university and studied Creative Writing, Editing and English Lit.
Now, I'm a writer. I write articles mainly, but I am trying to get my books published. This is my latest article on Australia's leading Adult website
