My Story
I’m a 30 year old originally from London now based in the North West of England. I became a passionate reader very young and by age 7 I had decided I wanted to become a novelist.
I wrote little stories for fun even back then, and age 10/11 I wrote a Shakespearean Sonnet as an assignment in class that my teacher had me read to our headteacher.
I considered blogging repeatedly through my teens and early twenties, but no more than dabbled at the time. I finally launched my blog Cosmic Halcyon on my 30th birthday.
I took a break from fiction writing through much of my twenties to gain more adult life experience and figure out who I intend to be as a writer.
I am now working on my first novel.
Personal Life
Outside of writing, I enjoy learning nutrition and new recipes, exploring wellness trends, and enjoying excellent content from fellow creatives. I love to try new skills and embrace a spirit of continuous learning, #staycurious – and I can’t imagine not having different projects and interests to keep growing.
I am taking a BSc undergraduate degree in Psychology which is an increasingly exciting field now that research can be coupled with fMRIs and collaborations established with neuroscience to uncover the biomechanics of psychology. The applications are as limitless as the human imagination.
I am passionate about equality and human rights, my deepest hope would be to see a world where people are safe and have the same chances.

FUTURE
My goal in the future is to expand to other projects beyond my substack blog and coming novel(s).
I’m currently working on various things behind the scenes towards this end and I am looking forward to being able to share more projects in the long-term.
