About Me

My Photo
Big City Bumpkin
I'm a country girl who lives in London and works in Children's Publishing. I've always loved stories but have a bad habit of reading the endings before the middle. I blog about anything and everything, write very short stories and am slowly but surely working on my first YA book. If you'd like to get in touch, email me at bigcitybumpkin@gmail.com. All views are my own.
