Hi! I'm Bethan, or Aschenputtel, which is German for Cinderella. I'm enthusiastic about languages. I enjoy procrastinating, of which daydreaming is my favourite form. I'm also a huge lover of mythology, all things grape flavour, and silent films. I'm an unlikely fan of goth and dark cabaret music, because where else is better to look for twisted inspiration? A big shout out to The Cure, Jack Off Jill, Dresden Dolls, The Birthday Massacre and Morgan Kibby in all her incarnations among many others. In books, I have a weakness for murderers, blondes and the gruesome. Fairytales were my first love, and my love of other worlds spreads across many genres, though my heart resides with steampunk and dystopia.

I read your story 'Evelyn's Box' and I was compelled to let you know that it has come out very interestingly so far. The backdrop is what i love the most. Also, the perspective that the times of today too might be old one day for some, is very original. I'm intrigued. I feel you should promote it more perhaps. It deserves a lot of readership and appreciation. : )
Finally uploaded the first part (of an expected four) of time-travelling romance Evelyn's Box, for those with a taste for Germany, silent films or the Roaring Twenties. (http://www.wattpad.com/story/2336232-evelyn%27s-box-short-story)
Hi! Thank you so much for becoming a fan--and for adding Annie and the Baron to your library! I hope you enjoy it when you come to read it. I rather like dark cabaret music, too... :-)
@steviekc Hey thanks, I'll give it a read. The concept sounds promising and I can't say no to a grotesque fairytale ball!
You seem admirably expert on Nazi Germany. But if you have a weakness for murderers, blondes and the gruesome you might like to give my novel Aryan Nation a try. I can also promise you a grotesque fairy tale ball and a terrifying dystopia that is all too close to home.
Oh well hi Bethan! I'm glad you've managed to find my story again. :) You found it right as I'm nearing the end of it (the first book anyway). I hope you enjoy reading whats up. I hope to start posting the final draft in a few months, get some crit, then look for a publisher.
Oh! Yes! I remember! You should have gotten on Wattpad sooner :P Your stories will get such great feedback on here!
Thanks for the fan! : D
