General details


  • Accela

In short

  • I'm a rather quirky, sarcastic girl with a strong sense of NERD PRIDE!  See, there's the quirkiness coming out.  I adore reading and writing, and I'm also an illustrator for my stories as well as those of my friends.  In addition, I'm a cat lover and ride horses.  English rider all the way!

    I've been writing since I was six years old (although the quality of said six-year-old-me writing is lamentable), focusing on fantasy and teen stuff.  I've written one complete novel, and I'm working on another one right now.  If only my muse would talk to me...

  • I'm the only one among my friends who's actually written a novel.

My Favorites: Reading and Writing

  • Fiction: Crime, Historical Fiction, Literary, Mystery, Political, Sci Fi/Fantasy, Teen

    Non-Fiction: History, Politics & Current Affairs, True Crime
