Quotes:

About Jane Austin: Till Pride and Prejudice showed what precious gem was hidden in that unbending case, she was no more regarded than a poker or a fire screen, or any other thin, upright piece of wood or iron that fills its corner in peace and quietness. The case is very different now; she is still a poker - but a poker of whom everyone is afraid.

But enough about that..

NEWSFLASH I've finally posted my first story; Lest we Forget! I'll try and keep the updates regular, but with training, school and assessments, and that dreaded thing called "writers block" there's no knowing when I'll find the time... but I will!

Well, now that I've exherted myself, I think now is a great time to sign off! Look out for my reviews, I do them habitually!
