Aspiring author from New Zealand. An eclectic reader, I am passionate about literature, particularly fiction and the impact it can have on readers of all ages. A firm believer that quality of writing surpasses all else, my appreciation for books crosses a wide range of genres and target readerships. A book for young children is just as powerful and influential in the hands of a skilled writer as a literary novel or psychological thriller.I established a blog for book lovers and creative writers in 2010 called Quill Café, where I write about a wide range of topics that captivate me as a lover of literature, along with writing several book recommendations. Blogging has been a brilliant gateway for me into the realm of online social media and networking. I find the innovative opportunities that social media presents to be inspirational, and am always looking to connect and converse with fellow literary enthusiasts.
