I'm Callie and a bookaholic. I love reading psychological thrillers and women's contemporary fiction. I'm currently in the third year of an English Literature degree with the Open University, and now this is coming to an end I am excited to be starting a new career as a novelist myself.

So grab yourself a coffee and come and join me in my love of all things literature. Callie x
