An inspiring novelist and journalist, my ultimate ambition is to change people's way of thinking, and rather, get certain people to start thinking more about the social issues humanity faces today, our pros and our cons, and how to solve and face them. The dream may sound idealistic and unrealistic, but who says we aren't allowed to dream? If there is anything I value on the same level as my family and friends, it's a well-told story. I've been writing stories for as long as I can remember, or ever since my family bought the first modern computer I could get my hands on. Whilst most my age would probably say they grew up with certain video game systems or Harry Potter (personally I'm a Sony fan, having owned the PlayStation 1 and 2, and unfortunately the Wii rather than PlayStation 3, though I do own Sony's handheld systems), I would say that I grew up as a big Horrid Henry, having collected most of the 'original books', and they ultimately inspired me to start writing my own. Whilst I don't have any of them with me now, I'd often write stories with talking animals or talking trains, having being an avid trainspotter during childhood, and always enjoying travelling by train.

I now want to find myself and see where my true capabilities as a writer will take me. As I'm currently working on a future series of novels, they will features based on people I've encountered throughout my life, be they 'good' or 'bad' people. I also thought I'd begin filming and editing, as I've grown interested in it.

To be a community reporter is an honour to me, and hopefully I can deliver and post worthwhile and interesting stories here!
