More About Me

Aside from writing and reading, I like to work (weird, I know!). I am doing a short course in animal behaviour management and I also run daily, and am a brand ambassador for Nike.
I love socialising and having a few drinks. I am a big believer in rewarding myself for completing novel related goals with food and booze!
