Author bio

Im a hobbyist author I had a stroke at 18 I'm now 38 and have a book in progress. I started writing as therapy, a way to reconnect with my passion for words, which had been taken away from me when I suffered the stroke. I’ve since become an avid reader and writer, finding great pleasure in crafting stories of all shapes and sizes. My main genre is horror, but I also love non-fiction and science etc.
