Author has written 26 stories for Downton Abbey.

Well as the penname suggests, I am a massive fan of Downton Abbey and it really is my life ;)
It's the best part of my week when it's on and I watch it all the time, I've even begun to quote it :')
Everyone who knows me knows I love Downton, mainly because I go around with my pen name written on my hand. (Just in case I forget who I am :p)

XXX I might be a huge fan of Downton, but I'm one hell of a Loganite!! I'm a bigger fan (if that's possible) of Phyllis Logan than Downton, I simply can't write about how much I love her!! She's a seriously amazing woman, let alone actess!) She's the living example of perfection. I'd literally give absolutely anything to meet her, to me she's flawless, beautiful and incredible :') Much Love XXX

For the moment (and probably forever) it's 'Chelsie' (Charles and Elsie) that have captivated my heart and imagination!
