About me

Hi! I'm Hannah, author of the Pearl Wielder Trilogy, book lover, up and coming #bookstagrammer and all round cat lover. 

​

Helping me pack before going to university, my best friend started routing through my bookcase. She stumbled across one of my old notebooks. Never being one for keeping a diary as a child, I was far more likely to start writing a story - usually with the main character being uncannily similar to me. 

My best friend started reading the notes which featured a young mermaid with golden hair and eyes that shifted colour in accordance with the sea. She laughed at my narcissistic 10-year-old self but eventually stopped to probe me about what happened next. Eight years had passed since I first put pen to paper, but the story was still alive. In my day-dreams, in my bored moments, in long-car rides, in times of distress- that was the story I told myself.

Fast forward two years and a serious bout of depression-induced insomnia, I started writing the story again. This time the writing was done in fits and starts at 2 am in the morning. A year later I enrolled in a creative writing course and by graduation, I was done. I had finished writing the book that had grown with me from my childhood. But, as with all great stories - that was only the beginning.
