Jason from Milton Keynes
Hello everyone.

Registered today.
Very much enjoying browsing all these forums.

I was born quite near the coast in sunny Norwich in the Summer of 1973 but moved inland to the new city of Milton Keynes at the age of the 8.

My love of writing began at school where I wrote fun stories about zany characters and let my imagination run almost as wild as my hair. At the age of 13 I wrote in an essay about Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice that Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's marriage could only be saved by a novelty 'His and Hers' towel set. Suffice to say this didn't go down too well with the English teacher but it set me on a path towards an interest in expressive writing.

Four years later, my 5000 word A-level analytical essay studying the literary structure of the Conan the Barbarian novels by Robert E Howard was heavily frowned on by my teacher for not being about an 'author of suitable literary merit.' That moment convinced me only to ever write about subjects that I enjoyed applying my creative mind to. I soon began to write humorous tales, sci-fi and fantasy purely for my own enjoyment.

The birth of my daughter in 2006 introduced me to children's books for the first time in 20 years. Inspired by the likes of 'the Gruffalo' and 'Mr. Gum', I ventured into writing children's books as well as an epic psychological thriller of 120,000 words.

Welcome Jason. Thank you for your interesting introduction. I also like children stories, especially beautiful drawings that accompany any story.
