How and when did you start your writing?

My first piece was a poem aged 10, after visiting the Tutankhamen exhibition in London and ever since, I've come home from new adventures and committed my

thoughts and experiences to paper.

My first piece of published (and

paid!) writing was an article for the

Dancing Times, after attending my

first day of belly dance workshops

in London, nine years ago.

As a child, I read and wrote

stories, losing myself in the lives of

the characters and while in my early

twenties, I wrote children's and

short stories but it was on a two

day writing course, ten years ago, that I believed I could be a writer.
