I AM NOW BACK ONLINE. ALL DELAYED SWAPS WILL NOW BE SENT AND I THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR PATIENCE DURING THIS RATHER ANNOYING TIME.

I am 26 years old and a crime writer/freelance writer, I have written 4 books and am just trying to find a publisher or agent. I also write for magazines and online sites, have a look at my website!

I am studying psychology and philosophy.

I have a little black and white staffie called Dot, and a bad tempered bunny by the name of Conan.

I live in Wales, by the sea with my fiance,

We have been together for 9 years and engaged for 8 years, we plan on getting married sometime, who knows when?

We love planting vegetables in our small garden, although my fiance often sneaks out to eat peas and tomatos when I'm not looking, so they don't last long.

I have an eclectic taste in music, I love opera, classical music, rock music, country. Some of my favourites - Elgar, Puccini, Meatloaf, Leanne Rimes, Eva Cassidy...as I said eclectic.

I love reading, and get through several books a week, I consider it essential homework in order to write well. I like horror, crime, supernatural books and true life.

I don't like watching too much TV, but I like the Apprentice and I just luv Doctor Who,

sigh but who doesn't?

I am not very artistic, but I like ATCs and I love postcards, sending and receiving. I love cooking, trying new foods. I collect embellishments, I love tie dye and spent many an afternoon dying old white shirts.

I love anything for the garden, ornaments, seeds, gardening type tools.

My other half loves cricket, tea, golli's and rugby and all associated paraphenalia.

My favourite colour is purple.

We love vintage things, old cards, old stamps, old money, just old stuff.

I don't like Hello Kitty, anything liquorice, spiders or moths but I love butterflies.

Candy, candy, candy (my first swap sadly)

Seed swap europe (my second swap!! I know, I've always been unlucky)
