Introduction

I have always been interested in creative writing and longed to write something that would be worth published one day, as many a creative soul does. However, a lack of confidence has often kept me from sharing my work with others, and instead I have scribbled and squirreled my writing away.

Many aspects of my life have changed over the last year and I’d like to keep making changes for the better, so I’ve set up this Blog to share pieces of my writing with whoever happens to come across it. To me, is not important whether people love or rate my work, thought that would be nice, but rather finally putting myself ‘out there’.

Facts about me:

• I have lived on the West Coast of Scotland for nearly 40 years and I couldn’t really imagine myself any place else.
• I suffer with both physical and mental illness, which I believe this makes me more empathetic to others and fuels my creative side.
• I have always had a creative streak and if I’m not crafting or painting then I’m probably writing.
• Like all budding writers, I love the written word. My main loves are historical, science fiction, fantasy and poetry. I’ve also recently developed a interest in horror, especially gothic and folk horror.
