Magic, Wizardry and Witchcraft have always fascinated me from the time I was 7 years old. I would actually walk into my Grammar School library looking every day for a new book to read that would encompass the magical world. There was even a time I would say books were my best friends and by the time I completed Grammar school I had read every single book in the school library that contained those subjects, Fiction, Non Fiction, Fantasy, Science Fiction and the world of mind powers. My greatest treasure I found at the time was the book "Half Magic" by Edward Eager which showed me a world where children just like me could do incredible things. I went on to discover Arthurian Legend in the form of the book "The Once and Future King" from TS White from that moment on I was hooked to Merlin and anything having to do with him. It became my lifes aim to read absolutely anything about him and the entire Arthurian Legend.
I had never been a typical little girl playing with dolls and house instead my imaginative play was filled with Witches, witches brews, Genies, and other magical creatures. I would even get the other children in the neighborhood I played with to join in on my magical games. My world was never boring whenever I felt that way I would escape into the fantasy world of either books or play.
At the age of 12 I discovered I could write down my stories and fantasy worlds. From that time I never stopped writing. I wrote and wrote and wrote never ever showing another human being anything since I had no confidence that anything I wrote was any good. But I could never stop writing. It was my secret obsession.
