I grew up in the Land Down Under,in a big city where you lived on other people’s watches. When I was 4 years old, my mother gave me a giant book filled with fairy tales. I made her read it to me a thousand times before I could finally read it for myself. When I became a teenager reading much of anything was the last thing on my mind, until my grandfather gave a book that changed everything. After that, I wanted to read more, and before I knew it, I was begging my mother to take me to the second hand store every afternoon after school so I could check out their rejected books bin. After finding the internet, I realised I could write my own books, and before long, I was writing novels I never knew would even see the light of day.
