About me

Gender Female
Location Leicester, Leicestershire, United Kingdom
Introduction I'm a generally an easy going pleasant person but I have an unusual sense of humour and a very strong character that can get me into trouble. Follow me on Twitter @duracelltalker
Interests I play the flute, Irish whistle and sing in two bands. One is more traditional folk, the other also has a folk feel but incorporates rock, jazz and blues. I am a big reader and recently calculated that I have easily read over 6, 000 books in my life. Using these as my education I am currently writing my first novel. I also write poetry, some of which has been published in anthologies, as well as music and lyrics for the band.
