My writing career began at the age of nine writing children’s columns in the local Kentish newspaper. At seventeen, I started to write short stories and poems. After reading hundreds of books, I always blamed my nearness to writing thanks to the overly imaginative works of Verne, not because it was my first, it was he who could deliver my then childish mind, making me wonder how someone could vividly paint an invisible image inside my head. I was fascinated by the power of literature. Since then I have always enjoyed writing, enjoying the pleasure it brought to others. I found it a way to escape from the real world, inserting myself within my own.
