Hello everyone! 

I am an english lady living in Sweden who is a nurse and an english teacher (levels: 5 & 6). I have always wanted to write a book/story. 

I have many ideas and it has been a struggle to decide which story to write first. I have a written the first few chapters of my first story entitled 'The House that Time Forgot'. I have much to do with it, but it is set in 1939, at the time of War breaking out in Britain. The story follows a young girl by the name of Elizabeth, who is evacuated to a manor house in Devon. The manor is being run by colourful characters, that become endeared to the little girl. They posess a secret, the secret revolves around the manor house. 

The Raven's Keep Country Manor was built on grounds that had already a history, dating back to the norman invasion. The house in time opens itself to Elizabeth, as she explores the myriad of rooms, built and rebuilt and extended over the ages. The manor itself may have changed with the centuries that have come to pass, however the characters that had owned it over the years...are still present. Each room beholds a soul/life/environment of a bygone age, and in time, Elizabeth befriends each and every one of them. 

There are turbulent times ahead, in the present, and the past. Elizabeth, and the manor's staff are the only ones that can save and protect the manor.
