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.

TROUBLE IN CHRISTMAS

Bettie felt her stomach twist as she looked at her small silver watch and realised her sister Phryne would be meeting her soon. She loved her sister, she really did but Bettie would have preferred to wait a few more days to see her. She had no idea what could be so important her sister would want to see her before Christmas.

As she attempted (but failed) to push those thoughts away, Bettie leant on the cold concrete railings that run along the cold riverbanks with the lustrous green grass under her feet.

Bettie remembered sailing on the large river below as a child with her family but none of them were into sailing anymore.

She still loved it here in Rochester, England. As Bettie looked across the large river to the other side, she tried to count all the cars driving into the retail park with the cinema and bingo halls and even a few restaurants.

Listening to the playing of children in the playground behind her, it bought a few happy memories of her playing with her younger brother a few decades ago but... but that was before he died.

Bettie still managed to smile as she listened to them laugh, play and live. She just wished her brother would have been like that.
