Heartbreak Lessons
"When fate gives you a chance, don't waste it."
"Take the first step and make it happen."
"When you love someone, tell them."
Amelia "Milly" is new to Bantham on the south coast of Devon and decides to take a surfing course. This is where she first meets Jake, a kind trainee surfing instructor, and, as Milly later discovers, her friend's older brother. As their two lives become increasingly intertwined, she develops strong feelings for him. But she ends up with a broken heart.When Milly finally starts to get over her first love, she understands that she didn't fall for Jake because they were meant to be together. She realises that there were a few lessons she needed to learn for life - and heartbreak was the only way to teach her.This book is dedicated to the thousands of people whose hearts are broken every day. Through Milly's story, I wish to teach them what nobody else takes the time to address and hope to protect them from avoidable heartbreak in the future.
The Curse of the Diadem
"This is not the tale of the knight in shining armour who saved the beautiful princess. This is the tale of the princess who saved her kingdom."
Once upon a time, there was a kingdom in a land far, far away. Five hundred years previously, it had been cursed with a never-ending winter. Its people were told that the wintry landscape and freezing temperatures were perfect. Anyone who questioned the kingdom was sentenced to death by the king and queen.Little did they know that their own daughter, Princess Neva, was questioning the kingdom's regime. When Neva is lured into the forest one day and falls into a lake, everything changes. She meets the Snow Queen - the very person who put the curse on the kingdom - who gives her clues on how to break it.But what if Neva has to pay a terrible price to save her kingdom from the horrible winter?

About Me
I was born in Austria in March 2009. I grew up in the Wachau Valley and was raised bilingually by an Austrian father and a British mother.I went to kindergarten from the age of two to six. My mother taught me to read and write in English when I was five, before I began primary school.I started primary school at the age of six (which was also when I started learning to play the recorder), where I learnt to read and write in German. Even then I loved writing stories. They were usually about horses or unicorns, like most little girl's stories.It wasn't until I was thirteen that I developed my love of writing in English. By that time, I'd already written a few fanfictions set in the Wizarding World in German, as I was obsessed with it in my early secondary school years. When I started writing in English, it stuck!In addition to writing, I was also learning to play three instruments by then: the piano, the clarinet and the organ.In the summer of 2023, at the age of fourteen, I published my first book, entitled "The Curse of the Diadem". It was my entry for the Young Storyteller Award, and although I did not win, I was thrilled to hold my own book in my hands.This summer I published my second book, "Heartbreak Lessons", which I entered at the YSA 2024. I'm excited to see the results, but the most important thing for me is to be able to share these important lessons with the world.And that has been my life so far. What will happen next? Well, for one thing, there's going to be a big change for me, because in the next few months I'll be studying abroad, in England.
