Well to save everyone reading about me twice, I have deleted my first attempt so hopefully, eventually, I'll only grace you with my presence once.
My name is Veronica and I come from sunny Cairns, Australia (Yes there does seem to be a disproportionate amount of Aussies on here - we must have nothing better to do than sit around and read all day - ah well its a tough life but someone has to do it).
After reading all the other ages, I feel like a bit of a granny, though, being 36 years old. I am married with 2 little girls and work as a pathology scientist.
I was actually introduced to the fantasy genre by a friend, when I ran out of Dean Koontz books (Yes he's my all time favourite, I'd have to admit - even though he's not your conventional fantasy writer). Anyway, I mentioned that I liked the "Good wins over Evil" theme in his books and my friend suggested that I might enjoy Lord of the Rings (This was only about 5-7 years ago by the way - a bit of a late starter) and I've never looked back. Now I read every chance I get - when family and work commitments allow (and sometimes, I must admit, even when they don't allow, if I'm at a particularly nail-biting part - much to my husband and kids' disgust).
Oh well, life was meant to be enjoyed after all.
