A word about my writing
My writing is mainly in the fantasy genre, swirling with history and mythology; I prefer Celtic/British myths and history. Even my poetry favours historic or mythological themes.

The following is an excerpt from the story Legendary Debts, found in the book Inside Realms
“I used to be mortal.
In years past, I was just an ordinary person, an attractive slip of a girl who craved some adventure. I worked in my father's inn, serving drinks and food to the trade. I had dreams of warriors and escapades.
Then I met Merlin, the great wizard, and thought my dreams had arrived.”
