Author has written 19 stories for Harry Potter. Apparently 370 people have looked at my bio, so maybe I should tell you a bit about myself. I was born in 1959 (I'll let you work it out for yourself) and I live in England, about 30 miles north of London. I've been married for 18 years, my wife is German, and I have a 15 year old son. I have a degree in Biology, but I'm now an accountant working for an engineering company. Outside of work, my hobbies are sub-aqua diving (that's SCUBA for the Americans) and I'm a qualified instructor. I also coach Rugby Union. I grow most of my own vegetables, and I'm passionate about dahlias, which I exhibit. I started reading Harry Potter at the same time as my son, and think they are wondeful books. I know some of the critics don't like them, but I think JK Rowling is a very good author. Her writing is direct and accessible, which I admire. In many ways, she reminds me of Nevil Shute, my favourite writer; she doesn't waste words. If it's an elephant, she'll tell you it's an elephant - it doesn't take half a page. Most of my stories so far have been Hermione or Hermione / Ron because they are the characters that interest me. I think that the completion of my story "Ron and Hermione - a life lived" might well take them about as far as I can go in exploring their lives. I prefer canon stories, and seriously dislike "Hermione and Draco are forced to share a Common Room in Year 7 with hilarious consequences". Where DID that idea come from? No school in their right mind would force two pupils, of opposite gender, to live together. YOU HAVE TO READ THIS ONE A fantastic Bellatrix story by a first time author. It is chillingly brilliant and called Little Miss Death Eater. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4975592/1/Little_Miss_Death_Eater | |||||||||
