    Hello, I'm Connor Whiteley, I am an 18-year-old who loves to write creatively, and I wrote my Brownsea trilogy when I was 14 years old after I went to Brownsea Island on a scout camp. At the camp, I started to think about how all the broken tiles and pottery got there and somehow a trilogy got created.Moreover, I love writing fantasy and sci-fi novels because you’re only limited by your imagination.In addition, I'm was an Explorer Scout and I love camping, sailing and other outdoor activities as well as cooking.Furthermore, I do quite a bit of charity work as well. For example: in early 2018 I was a part of a youth panel which was involved in creating a report with research to try and get government funding for organised youth groups and through this panel. I was invited to Prince Charles’ 70th birthday party and how some of us got in the royal photograph.Finally, I am going to university and I hope to get my doctorate in clinical psychology in a few years.

      THE LITTLE café AFFAIR

      Buying A Company is Never Easy. Always Be Careful or You Will Be Bitten,

      -Old Business Saying, Unknown Planet

      Some people might have called Heron Drake, Private Eye, a risk taker but he didn’t agree. This was all part of the fun.

      Taking a sip of the sweet, black strong coffee, Drake almost smiled as his mouth was filled with the amazing tastes of fruit and sweet delicious honey. This café knew how to make a great cup of coffee.

      Drake looked at his holographic computer screen filled with banking documents and other confidential pieces of information. As he listened to the other customers talk and moan about how wonderful the food was.

      He had to admit the customers made great points and now he was really attempted to buy one of those amazing sweet sticky buns everyone was talking about.

      Maybe later.
