    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.

      EDGE OF FAILURE

      Business is an Art, it needs Flexibility. Or it shall die,

      -Unknown Person

      Pressing his back into the hard cold leather chair, Cao ran his fingers over the smooth solid grey metal of his large desk. Filled with plenty of stacks of papers, dataslates and tons of other things. It was a mess.

      Cao needed the mess.

      Turning his attention away from the mess of a desk, Cao smiled and his lips narrowed as he admired his stunning art collection that hung on the walls. Cao wasn’t sure if he liked the hard, unloved brown walls of his office but they were great for hanging art on. So many beautiful pieces from hundreds of planets all over the Human Empire. There were even a few pieces from far away Earth.

      The smell of
