Hey! Thanks for coming to have a look, if you have any constructive feedback on my work, please go away! Just kidding, let me know of any ways you think I could improve, I would really appreciate any and all comments! I am an aspiring writer, mostly of short stories, based in Ireland. I write about memories, small towns, relationships and I love a good oddball character. I love to read crime fiction and thrillers and would love to get a little more proficient in writing these genres. Close to home in Ireland I love the work of Louise O'Neill, June Caldwell,Tana French, Andrea Mara and Catherine Ryan Howard. There is so much talent in Ireland and this is where a lot of my inspiration comes from, I love the way these writers capture places I know and like to visit. Otherwise recently I've read and enjoyed Tara Westover's 'Educated', and Margaret Atwood's 'The Testaments.' I have a theatre degree and love reading and watching plays too.  Currently drinking a cup of tea and eating a Terry's Chocolate Orange, which is a pretty apt summation of who I am.
