MY STORY

My head has been stuck inside the pages of a book for the major part of my life. Primarily, I focused on reading fictional tales, historical biographies and gathering psychological insights. Black Beauty was always my favourite- the psychological insights in that book are endless! Subsequently, it began my love for horses.

My dream of becoming a writer was hoisted up by my teacher, Mrs Billingham. One day, in class, she asked each of us what we wanted to do when we started work. I was an introverted, shy kid, and the thought of speaking in front of anyone made me want to curl up and hide. Somehow, I managed to pluck up the courage to say what I wanted to do: write.

Mrs Billingham's smile beamed while my cheeks burned. She announced proudly to the class, "We have a budding author in our midst!"
 
From that moment on, I involved myself in the drama class, emersed myself in the library and learned all I could about the written word. Needless to say, the typewriter certainly played a huge role in my life!
