Author of dark things – thrilling novels and haunting stories
Sometimes I get really fed up with the way people perceive writing and writers. I'm talking about (mostly) other authors, on Twitter and Facebook and Instragram and where ever, and I get that they're trying to be motivating, but I feel like writing, as a form of art, has an unhealthy perspective.

Seeing as it's nearly Christmas, I want to tell a little Christmas story. (Don't worry, it's not one I've written.) It's about the time I got a little purple book for Christmas, from my aunt - and I'm hoping I can encourage the lot of you to buy books for people for Christmas. (If celebrating... Continue Reading →
*I received a complimentary copy of this book, and I'm leaving a voluntary review* So it finally happened. I couldn't finish this one. I don't know what to say. It was just too much.
