Author has written 18 stories for Downton Abbey.

English is not my first language but I try my best to find the right words to express what's on my mind. So reviews are more than welcome! They really help me to get better.

Right now I'm totally into Downtown Abbey :). But I also love Sherlock, Grey's Anatomy, X-Files.

Other hobbys are photography and music.

I don't know. Sometimes. Maybe
