Hello! My name is M.A. Turner. I'm just a young writer who loves to express creativity. Whether writing fiction, music, scripts, or even making Internet content! I take most of my inspiration from the Victorian poets, such as Tennyson and Byron. Though I do like some modern literature as well. I don't participate that often here, but I do have a few stories that I submit every now and then. I hope you enjoy them! If you ever want to chat - or share some stories - my email is mrliteraturewolf@gmail.com
