So I haven't had much chance to get on ff for a while (not even to read :( ) so thought I'd better post a quick update.

I am working on two new stories a the moment. A follow up to Sandy South and Eric's Secret will come later but first I am writing a new story that starts from much earlier in the series. I am hoping to start posting soon but am very busy with real life at the moment which is seriously cutting into my writing time.

I only discovered ff last year, I hadn't even heard of it before then. Reading by nature is often a very solitary experience and growing up I was alway big reader but almost no one I knew read for recreation so it always made me a bit 'odd'. To discover and be able to become part of a community like this has been an amazing experience for me, coming on here to read is like dropping into a friends house for drinks and a catch up. To share the reading experience in this way is what finally gave me the courage to write (it's something I had always wanted to do but didn't feel up to the challenge). I know I'm still learning and (hopefully) improving but I am very grateful for the opportunity to do just that.

OK I'll shut up now as I'm sounding all lovey and sappy (which I'm not) I just wanted to say thanks. :)

A special thank you to all the people kind enough to read my stories and especially those who have given reviews and/or listed me as a favourite it really is very flattering and I am truly honored by it.

Huge thanks also to all the other writers for providing some great reads.
