Hey how did u get ur start in writing books.
Hello! I’ve just always written things. From as early as I can remember I was writing stories - certainly during primary school I was always writing stories, trying to write novels but never finishing because I would get about half way through, think of a new idea and then go away and write that one instead.

I would love them to be in the New York Public Library! I would be so happy to see them in libraries - I think its so important that books are collected and available in that way. Thanks for your interest in Lacrimosa :) When I finally manage to get them into all the libraries you will be the first to know :) Thanks for the message!
I very much want to go here.
