A Quick Introduction
Welcome to the homepage of Magpie Stories. Why not peruse some of the posts and comment on what you like and what you would like to see in the future.
I currently work in education teaching English. Having done this for a decade, I finally took the plunge and decided to turn my hand to writing, something I had always told myself I would do and never had the courage to until now. I hope that you will join me on this journey.
I hope you have a pleasant time exploring
