Well now, greetings and salutations to anyone who is reading this here profile. I am new to this site and have only just created my account so do excuse me if I don't seem to have clue what I am doing!  Ever since I was a little girl I have loved reading and writing. I attempted to write a novel at the age of eight about a talking fox and his friend, who was an evil leprechaun. As this is not in print you may rightly assume that this particular writing venture never really took off!  Since then I have started various projects, but never had the ability to concentrate on one set of characters long enough to finish anything.  So I am now trying to embrace the concept of short stories. This is rather difficult for me as I have a tendancy to ramble off on tangents (as I am very possibly doing right now!).  I have always been fascinted by the darker side of life and am an avid reader of horror stories and watcher of horror films. Some of my favourite authors include Clive Barker, Caitlin R Kiernan, Stephen King, Jim Butcher, James Herbert and Laurell K Hamilton. I also love the Harry Potter books, which is rather random when you look at my other favourite writers, but hey. Hopefully this site will help slap me into line when it comes to writing within a scale and also give me chance to experience stories by some of the other aspiring writers who are out there in the cyber-community.
