My name is Kierryn, which is normally spelt: Kierran, Cyran, Kyrran ect. As far as I know it's a boys name and have never personally met another girl called Kierran before. I'm named for the New Zealand full back Kierran Cowley, for anyone who's a fan of rugby...like me!

I live in a tiny little town called Pilgrim's Rest which as a glorious population of +-200 people and is found in the Escarpment area of Mpumalanga, South Africa. Our claim to fame is tourism and I have no social life as i spend all my time working for my folks in one of their three businesses.

I spend my time listening to music (my obssession, watching movies at all hours of the morning, working, or studying so I'll be able to pass when I write my final exams to get out of school in two years. Writing is a hobby that I love and I admire anyone who does it coz it's harder than it looks!

I'm completely and irreverseably addicted to Harry Potter. Anything to do with him I love! The books, the movies, the fanfiction, everything! I love all sorts of other things too: cats (I own six), pizza, chilli sauce, purple, clothes, cars, boys ;p, forever-long hot baths, trashy romance novals, shopping, chocolate, and the internet are just a few of my many many obssessions!

I've written two stories before but haven't ever posted them up for other people to read, so this is my first public story which I hope you will enjoy!

And now enough about me, I'd like to take this chance to thank the people who inspired me to post this rubbish and give them the credit they deserve coz they're all very talented writters.

Pam (angeli0772/darkphoenix, author of The Evans Potters and Blacks Saga): I love and admire all your work! Don't stop writting coz you're brilliant!

Becky(rebcschult, author of Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix): Thanks for not killing me to often with all those cliffies of yours!

Kirbee(author of The Prequel, When Dawn Breaks the Night, and Haphazard Ruse):If I could ever write like you I'd be blessed! Keep up all the good work!

Cat, Rachel, and Ana: Thank you for always reading even when you have to start from the beginning about fifty time! (Cat/pixierelish, author of Harry Potter and the Dark Mark. Ana/wizardcow, author of Sorcery in Ravenclaw.) All the above fics and many more wonderful ones I read can be found at the Harry Potter boards: www.harrypotter.com
