The Missing Shield

So this is the place where I tell you a bit about myself, but where does an old girl begin? Dreamer, closet-philosopher, fantasy geek, linguist, animal-lover- not-vegetarian (sorry), mother, wife, teacher, archaeologist, administrator and shop-assistant – yes, I can undeniably be accused of having put my hands, and mind, to a little bit of everything over the last two decades. However, it wasn’t until the muse of inspiration struck me over the head with the marvellous idea that I should pick up a childhood hobby of mine, that I finally hunkered down to write some epic fantasy. (And more about that if you flip to the About page).

I am in love with the idea that the ancient library of Alexandria was not destroyed but merely moved so that one day the wonders within might be re-discovered, but in the meantime, I tend to keep both feet on the ground where they belong. I adore cats, horses, coffee, wine, fast cars, ice hockey, family life and harbour a strangely fey fascination with fighter planes. These days I live in the UK, near the Steel City. I believe in kindness and karma. Tomorrow will be different from today, so let your dreams fly, even if you can’t.

Fear nothing; respect everything!
