Q and A
Why is my nickname Ariel? I went to a Girl Scout Camp in Colorado (USA) and was required to adopt a new name. Ariel was my choice.
Why Ariel? Ariel is my favourite Disney character, I love to sing and I dye my hair red.
What is my natural hair colour then? A medium brown. It's very dull.
What have you written? A short story called A Tour of the Haunted Mansion and a novel called I Stand.
Have any been published? No, but I hope to one day. (see Ambition)
Are you working on anything at the moment? Yes, I'm working on a mermaid novel and am co-writing a vampyre (yes, I have spelt it correctly) novel with a friend in the US.
Why are you writing a blog? Because I use a computer more than a journal so I thought it would be better to start a blog. But that doesn't mean I am going to share absolutely everything; some things need to remain private.
Any interesting facts about yourself? I have a tattoo on my right shoulder of a pentagram that says Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust around the outside. I am also very spiritual.
