Minstrel164hide bio
Author has written 40 stories for Castle. I live in the Land Down Under. One of my hobbies, no, make that obsessions is reading. I can't get enough of reading. My study is so crammed with books you like wouldn't believe. I have always loved writing though I have never had anything published. It's mainly been for my entertainment only. Watching Castle is my guilty pleasure and writing stories about them even more so. If you like you can contact me on comiccourt@ |
