Hi there world! I hve been out of touch for the last 2 or 3 years so it's time to get out there again.
My name is Ngaire (pronouced Ny-ree if anyone is interested) but its not a name I'm going to impose on everyone else if at all possible, so I call myself Rosea on line. It's the name of a flower and a mountain where I'm from- Victoria, Australia.
I'm 30 years old and going strong, although inside I feel like a shy and uncertain 18 year old. It will be a grim day when I feel my chronological age.
I'm a slightly loopy science teacher- currently on a teaching holiday (which in itself is a contridiction in terms) in England, and generally referred to by my students as being a bit weird. Just the way I like it.
I have a variety of hobbies covering a range of subject: reading, writing, gardening, Shakespeare, astromony and drifting off into my own fantasy world being chief amoung them.
I started writing when I was 14 with a story that has since evolved into novel in progress which will probably never be published let alone finished, with numerous re-writes, character additions, new situations, etc.
The story was shelved until I went to university when I found I needed a break from all those rocks (I did a geology course), when it was reborn and grew, and grew, and grew. Since then writing, both on the novel and other smaller things, like fan fic, has been a wonderful escape from the pressures of life, study and work.
"Sister Wolf" is my first step into the world of 'published' fanfic and the first time that anyone other than my closest writing buddy and editor has read it. I have also made little steps into writing for Planet of the Apes (the TV series) and Robin Hood.
I have posted one Doctor Who story- Portraits- which was a one shot about the darkest and most intriguing companion of the classic series, Turlough.
Hopefully as inspiration from my surroundings grows I shall increase my library. If you decide to read them, please let me know what you think.
