Author bio

A newbie writer that has struggled through school, needing extra help with reading and spelling due to a disrupted early education, and childhood trauma, that ultimately led to placement within the fostercare system. Despite all this, she walked away with 9 GCSE's and a pass in A level English. Her first passion was acting and theatre studdies, closely followed by creative arts and crafts, but nothing compares to her desires for motherhood. Although she continues to learn in several areas, (continuing with courses like service support level two, the ECDL, creative writing, and drawing lessons online), she has spent her life in service of others by bringing up four children and caring for a disabled partner, whos been bedbound for the past three years. Some day she hopes to share her thoughts, opinions and skills with others, via her stories, with only the need to know that she has achieved something good in her life so it might chase away the bad she has seen.
