Author has written 8 stories for Vampire Diaries.

Always open to criticism and suggestions I write about the books and not the TV series.

My avatar is part of an unusal art exhibition at Gloucester Cathedral, either that or Gloucester Cathedral is the ultimate Gods' Waiting Room lol!

The Discovery

A bookworm as a kid, I needed a book to read on holiday when I was 13 or 14. I was drawn to the Vampire Diaries, I kept going away to look at other books but kept coming back to them. So I bought The Awakening and read it before my holiday, then had to rush back and get The Struggle and The Fury. This was before Dark Reunion was released.

Inspiration

I get my insipiration mainly from the music that I listen to. My taste ranges from Enya, Micheal Buble, Bryan Adams to heavier things such as Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden (Fear of The Dark is Damon's theme I swear!) and melodic rock such as HIM, MCR and The Rasmus (In The Shadows- so Stefan's song!) and lately there's been Phantom and Love Never Dies.

About me

I met my boyfriend of 6 years on a ghost hunt and we've been on quite a few together since. I have seen things, felt things and heard things that cannot be explained. I'm usually the one with my back against the wall and begging my boyfriend not to leave me alone though- lol!

I love history and have had the pleasure to work at Hampton Court Palace- which is actively haunted btw. I am also into researching my family history when I haven't got my nose in a book! I'm also a Pagan who love the Celtic belief system, but I'm not a Dro-oid!

Book List

Authors who I love;

Anne Rice,

Terry Pratchett

Neil Gaiman

Charlane Harris

Micheal Crichton- Jurassic Park and The Lost World

Melissa Marr- Wicked Lovely although have only read Ink Exchange so far.

The only magazine that I try to get on a regular basis is Fortean Times, full of weird and wonderful news stories and the EPIC Strange Deaths such as;

Between 1989 and 2001, six people were shot dead in Thailand while fighting over possess­ion of karaoke machines. In a Bangkok karaoke bar in February 1994, Thai property tycoon Chen Ka Sek hogged the microphone for three hours and sang Candle in the Wind three times. When another man asked to have a go, Mr Sek had his bodyguards shoot the presumptuous fellow dead. “We were carried away by the beauty of my voice,” said Mr Sek.

Sometimes it can take a while for the muse of inspiration to visit- but when she does there's not enough hours in the day!
