Bio
Vote for my first short film! Click the picture above to vote. Voting closes 16th June 2010. To watch the film go here.
My main love is writing, something I discovered as a child and no matter how many jobs, educational courses etc. I did, I always got distracted by wanting to write something! Eventually I did start working in the field, as it couldn't really be avoided any longer and as such have done stints as (quite randomly) a proof reader and editor. These days I tend to freelance (very occasionally) and also write purely for my own (and friends) entertainment. Hence why I decided to start writing in some of my favourite fandoms.
Accompanying my love of writing, I have quite a passion for books, television, film and theatre. The involvement of audience with character on the big and small screens fascinates me and quite a few of my books are on the subject of film and TV :)
I have quite a few other defining 'roles' or qualifications/occupations but other than being a mum and partner, being a writer is the one that defines me best.
~~~~~~~~~~
As far as what makes me tick enjoyment-wise. I love a good book, whether it's a brain bender, soul enlightening or just plain trash :) so long as I want to keep turning the pages. Some books I read in a few hours, some I literally take years to read. My favourite TV writer is Stephen Poliakoff, with my favourite piece of his being 'Friends and Crocodiles' closely followed by 'Capturing Mary'. Movies are awesome in my book, some of my particular favourites (in no particular order;) Grave of the Fireflies (a real weepy with incredible animation), Lost in Translation (Japan always fascinates me and the story of love without consummation is just perfect), Leon, Hero, Nausicaa (beautiful in so many ways, an absolute joy), Gone in 60 Seconds (so slick), Moulin Rouge (really the only musical I can say I enjoyed), Top Gun (for the flying - another passion of mine), Hotel Rwanda, the original Star Wars trilogy (for sheer imagination)and many more that I can't think of in one sitting.
I also have a fascination with the history of the Far East, manga, drawing, graphic novels of the sci fi persuasion, art and its history, architecture, engineering, the human mind and the world.
