Reading and writing have always been great interests of mine - it is a rare moment, that I won't be carrying a book around with me - and it has always been a dream of mine, to one day see my own books, up there on the Waterstones shelf, ready for earger readers to buy.

It was when I was in high school, that I first noticed a poetry competition. It felt like a sign, and it was then that my love for reading and writing poetry became significantly existent.

The Silence Book Review

Silence - I'm reading

Joss Stirling has stunned me once again with her latest thriller, The Silence.
