Author bio

Hello! British writer here. I mostly write fantasy, but I dabble in everything. I did have 5 ⭐shortlisted stories on here, some of which I removed to edit and publish in an anthology. "Star Status : A Collection of short stories" is available on Amazon. (All fantasy and sci-fi tales, mostly set in our world with a quirky, unusual twist.) Among other things, I enjoy travelling, books, coffee, pizza and computer games. www.zeldacthorne.com Twitter and Instagram @zelda_cthorne
