Savouring a Personal Feat With The Booker Prize Winners
To say I love reading probably sounds trite and clichéd. Who doesn’t? you might be tempted to ask. However, perhaps I am obsessed with books, both fiction and non-fiction, and so took a keen interest in the British Booker Prize award some years ago. It soon became obvious that only certain people became judges - the known literati - who then chose the books in their own image, likeness and opinions of what deserved to win. Often I gazed wistfully at the growing list of winners wondering when I would see someone like me as a Booker recipient. I just couldn’t imagine how long I would have to wait.

Growing up, if I wasn't playing outside, in school, or doing homework, you could bet you'd find me curled up somewhere, reading a big book. I don't know when I decided I wanted to write stories, all I know is one day in middle school I began to write stories of my own.
