If you hadn't already guessed, I'm Lucy (and yes, that really is my surname!). I live in a West Midlands town called Walsall with my husband, my 5 (going on 15) year old daughter, our Staffy Bull Terrier and one hell of a grumpy rabbit who lives in the hutch in the garden.

I've always loved to write, conjuring up stories as a young kid. Still conjuring now. My Sister (aka my 'best friend in the universe') and I were read to regularly, which is no doubt where our love of books, stories and writing them, came from. I'm happy to say that this trait has passed down to our daughter and she can spin a tale or two, that's for sure.

Almost 10 years ago, I joined mibba.com and started to test the water with the stories that would crop up in my head

Listen to and take advice from your proof reader but never change anything if you think it doesn't need changing. Follow your gut - it's never wrong. Go with what your heart tells you.

Read as much as you possibly can when you're not writing. It keeps your brain active and takes you out of your story for a while. You need to have some "me time". It can be so easy to just live your book but it doesn't help in the long run. If you read something that really makes an impact on you, please review it. Reviews are what keep us writers going. Getting a book out isn't easy, in fact, it's bloody hard work. So, be a gem and treat other authors the way you would wish to be treated.

Finally....

Never give up and just keep plugging away. You'll get there!(less)

It’s taken me much longer than I expected to read Hare House. This has nothing at all to do with the book, more that life, such as it usually is, has been rather hectic. Hare House has provided me escape from the hustle and bustle on the occasions I’ ...more

A thoroughly enjoyable, engaging novella with, as I find myself a huge fan of, a building, be it a house, castle, or in this case, an Abbey, as one of, if not, the main characters.
