Author and Procrastinator
Darkness Reigns
Michelle's World
Hi, I am a full-time mummy of two very boisterous boys, who sometimes test me to my limits. This is my journey into writing my first novel.
I am also a full-time procrastinator, I have sat on the first ten chapters for the last ten years and I still haven't finished it. Now I am focused, I need my characters to tell their story because other stories are waiting to be told and they are getting very impatient.
So welcome to my world of Darkness Reigns.
