Since the moment I could hold a pen and scribble down a few words, I've been in love with story writing. I've been writing since primary school and loved telling stories to my family and friends. They always teased me and called me a dreamer, but writing has been something very emotional and personal to me. I've written a couple of novels in my native language (Afrikaans) and wrote one with the ATKV writers blog a couple of years back. But Crystal Falls was the one that stood out, and I just knew I had to work harder in getting this story told. It took me two years and a lot of sleepless nights filled with thousands of stories in my head, until I was finally pleased and proud of my work. I grew up and am still living in South Africa, one of the prettiest countries, with glorious sights, impressive landscapes, and sunny weather. For the first time in my thirty-six years on this earth, I'm ready to pursue a dream, and I'm loving the fact that I can now share my dreams with the entire world.
