Hi, I’m Sally. I love stories and narrative, but especially fairy tales. I’m an artist and writer and I’ve written ‘Through Mortal Eyes’ YA Fantasy Novel, which has been long-listed for Undiscovered Voices 2012. Writing is my love, and words are my enemy (I’m dyslexic), but nothing’s worth doing without adversity – right!
