They say pet owners live longer, perhaps it just feels that way.I play guitar and keyboard although not very well. I have played and sung on stage, at local concerts and in church.I live with my mother and my brother and together we bake novelty cakes such as birthday cakes and wedding cakes incorporating two of my favourite things; art and sweets.I have been writing from the moment I could hold a pen and it has always been a dream to turn a hobby into a career. My first poem at the age of 6 was entitled "There once was a man called Fred." It was well received at a school talent show, however my public speaking has much to be desired. Since then my passion for writing has flourished and I have written much although published very little. This will change.Samantha Grey - 2023view less
