I am a huge fan of all kinds of literature, from crime novels to contemporary YA fiction. I like to read books that are original and stand out against others in their genre. I'm don't tend to read from the paranormal genre, because I feel a lot of books published in that genre can be very similar... but I loved to be proven wrong!
My writing tends to stick in the YA genre, but I have recently started to plan a contemporary mystery set in Manchester that is told from the perspectives of six different people.
