Born and raised in Australia, as a child I spent most of my time reading. I started writing at about 12 however I didn’t decide that any of my work was good enough to publish until 5 years later when I started writing ‘Opal Rain’ after much encouragement from my wonderful fiancé.

Chapter 1
The wind whipped my hair back. I ran hopelessly down the street, my heart was pounding in my chest I knew there was little chance of escape, they would catch me but I had to try I couldn't stay there not after all I had seen and heard. Without looking over my shoulder I knew they were gaining on me and it was only a matter of time before they caught me and it was all over, I would be dragged back to await my fate but still I pushed myself. They were almost on top of me and my will to run was waning fast when I saw the city limit wall just up ahead, escape was close now for the first time, if I could just reach that wall before they reached me I would be free they couldn't touch me, once I left the city I was out of their jurisdiction there was nothing they could do unless I had broken one of the laws of their city, which I hadn't my only crime was being born. As I approached the wall they were almost close enough to touch me but just as they were about to grab me I reached up put one hand on the top of the wall and swung my whole body effortlessly over the top. As soon as my feet hit the ground I was safe I could go where I wanted be who I wanted to be. At least that was what I had thought until I turned around. I had thought I was safe but I was about to be in the middle of something much worse.
The night my parents had been murdered I had thought things couldn't get any worse. I was only 9 at the time and don't know what happened my brother had been 11 and had seen the whole thing but he would never tell me exactly what had happened or who had done it whenever the topic came up he would just walk away. The next morning we were taken to live in an orphanage, although the only family I truly had left was my brother I had been alright for a while and we were happy but the years past we grew up. The day he had turned 18 he was taken away from the small room we had shared, I was told that he had to leave and that I wasn't to follow no matter what but I had to know where he was being taken there was no way the only family I had left was going anywhere without me knowing. I let them leave with him and once I knew they were far enough away that they wouldn't sense me following them I slipped out of the room. I followed them as they weaved through the vast halls, my heart was racing they weren't taking him towards the exit they were taking him deeper into the building. They stopped and it appeared that they had reached their destination, a small room with an altar in the centre I crouched behind a seat to hide as the guard instructed my brother to sit behind the altar.
You know why you have been brought here?
the guard asked my brother.
Not exactly,
he replied, but I'm guessing that it has something to do with what you bastards did to my parents.
My mind was reeling, he had seen these people do that to our parents and he had never told me, why had he let me believe that we were safe staying here with them even when he knew what they had done. I guess this might have been why he never told me what had happened, but I would never find out the truth from him now, they were going to kill him and I was powerless to stop them or I would share the same fate. When his
