Author has written 1 story for Troy.

Hello, you seem to have stumbled upon my profile. I love reading and writing fanfiction so I guess you could say I am a lot like you. I love to use fanfiction to visit different time periods and play with different characters. I am currently writing my fanfic "In the time of Achilles" set before, during, and after the movie events of Troy (2004).

I love, love, love "The song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller and I am currently reading her latest book "Circe". Chances are if you have clicked on my profile because you have been reading my book, you like ancient Greece as well. If so, I would recommend those books to you (just be prepared for an emotional whirlwind).

The aim of my book is to tell a story which makes you happy, just as many of the stories on here have done for me. But, be pre-warned I am very much into the tales of Ancient Greek tragedy so while I try to keep my stories quite happy, like real life, they do have some sadness and pain in them too.

Characters aren't just in the lines of book pages or the devices that we read in books, they are a part of us all. Just like your characters are important to you, mine are very much a big part of my life and I hope by reading my book, they will become a part of your life as well. Writing stories allows me to escape from life. I get to live more than one life, walk more than one path. To me, that is truly beautiful.

Thank you for visiting my page, if you decide to take a look at my fanfic, I hope you enjoy it.
