Name (or alias): Faye (aka Scaerie Faerie). Location: North-West England Favourite of Kim's books: Agh! I can't answer my own questions! Well, I love them all for different reasons, but Angel Of Ruin/Fallen Angel probably has a little something in my mind. My mind kind of looks like that book sometimes. Favourite of Kim's characters: I posted my faves for each book in the thread in The Autumn Castle forum, but if I really had to narrow it down, I'd say Hexebart and Lazodeus. Other authors you enjoy reading: Philippa Gregory, the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, Shakespeare, Ben Elton, Bill Bryson etc etc. Any other interests: A lot! Writing, scrapbooking, drawing (badly), my pets, history, mythology...

Hello one and all! I'm Juliet and I've been told I am more trouble than I'm worth, however feel free to form your own opinion. As yet I cannot say I have a favourite Kim Wilkins novel as I have only read Grimore.
I am currently preparing for University study in English Literature and Mass Communication with plans to go for my Masters Degree in Editing and Publishing. I am also about to start up my own business in Editing and Proofreading. Somewhere in there I am also writing my first horror novel.
I look forward to working with you all and I am more than happy to critique for anyone if you like as practice makes perfect.
Thanks for reading!!
Jules
