“Be safe out there all right?” Massimo’s hands come to rest on my cheeks, the rough skin of his palms scraping against the flesh there, but I didn’t feel any discomfort. The skin on skin contact ignited the newly discovered connection between us and I could sense all of his concern and nervousness over the impending mission I was going to undertake, as if they were my own emotions. The fiery smell of ash drifted from the tips of his fingers and I knew that he would be occupied happily during my absence. He had been enjoying learning from Hilarion how to create his own weaponry over the last few months.
“I’m always careful,” the fact that we were alone in the clearing, and I couldn’t hear any approaching footsteps gave me courage enough to get on my tip toes and kiss him. It took a second for him to respond, but when he did, he dragged me even closer to him, his huge arms locking around my waist as he kissed me fiercely.

I'm a thirty something woman who lives in the north of England. I have been a writer for as long as I can remember, creating stories both written and verbal since childhood. While studying at Edge Hill College, I got several poems published by a small publisher in the USA, and in Europe. I have been part of several writing groups, and done quite a few courses in a attempt to hone my writing skills further. I love reading different genres of fiction, knowing that the best way to develop my own writing, and my vocabulary is by exposing myself to the different ways that other people choose to describe things.
The most recent writing course that I've been part of, run by a published author, included a exercise in which we were challenged to read things that we would never usually even look at.
It inspired me to take up a challenge. Namely to attempt to read at least one book by every author which is stocked in my local library. I soon realised that I was being far too ambitious, especially given the fact that every library rotates their stock too often for me to keep track.
I've decided to instead attempt to read a book every day, starting with a author whose surname begins with A, and ending with a author whose surname begins with Z. It doesn't matter what the topic of the book is, or if it's fiction or non fiction, everything is useful for me at the minute.
