Nat finds talking about herself in the third person extremely weird.
She is completely addicted to reading, and has been known to hide in a cupboard to finish that last chapter in peace...
Enough weirdness! Hello!!
I'm not the typical author, in that becoming one was a complete accident.
(Really!)
I read like I breathe, whatever genre is in my Kindle is good with me! As a child with little access to new reading material I had the most eclectic beginners library, made from thirty-third-hand books, school throwaways, and the blessed book tokens of birthdays and Christmases.
As a teen with my own library card, well...the universe becomes your oyster, right?
I went wherever the author took me. To Mordor, and then to the farthest reaches of space and time. I solved mysteries with Enid Blyton's children, explored Verne's hidden worlds. I lived life through a horse's eyes, sailed the seas in search of the white whale, fell in love with a sultan's wife as she wove tales into the dawn to save her life.
I could go on. Nothing is as rich as the imagination of others.
After a lifetime of avoiding reality by hiding in whatever text I could find, I was given a Kindle as a gift. I read around a bit, then stumbled across Michael Anderle's Kurtherian Gambit series.
Nobody who picks up the first book in that series does so knowing how much it will impact them. I found not only the singular best story I've ever read, but the beginning of a life changing journey that led me to a whole community, and so many people I can't imagine living without.
Now it's my turn to craft the narrative, something I take SO seriously. Not just as an author, but as a reader. It is my greatest wish that YOU as readers enjoy my stories as much as I enjoy putting them together, and that over the coming years my author page grows into a place where anyone can find an escape from reality.
For the first time (but not the last!)
Happy reading!
