About Me

I think that I would consider myself a friend first, an entertainer second, a writer third! Okay so maybe number two needs to be worked on a bit, but nevermind. My childhood is officially over now that I have left university (a trained Journalist).I will be putting off responsibility for as long as I can. Adventures first, in Canada and hopefully South America (and wherever else I can afford), education to follow with a Creative Writing MA at the University of Manchester, and then riches when I finally begin my steps on the journalism ladder, whilst writing my first novel - the first of many, I hope!
