about me
I am from Edinburgh but have lived all over England, in Canada and now in Pennsylvania.
I uploaded my historical novel,The Licenser, at end of February 2012 and it made the top 50 in 6 weeks. Thank you to everyone who read and commented! The experience has been really encouraging.
The book is now 'retired' but I have some reads outstanding. Please message me if I owe you a read.
Here are my writing highlights to date:
* 2010 Winner of Random House Canada Student Writing Award - publication of novel excerpt Charlatan.
* 2011 Received Marina Nemat Award for draft of The Licenser
* 2011 Short Story - Maiden Flight - published in Philadelphia Stories journal
*2012 Short Story - Turning Corners - shortlisted for Mslexia Short Story Competition
