Hello, I'm Connor Whiteley, I am an 18-year-old who loves to write creatively, and I wrote my Brownsea trilogy when I was 14 years old after I went to Brownsea Island on a scout camp. At the camp, I started to think about how all the broken tiles and pottery got there and somehow a trilogy got created.Moreover, I love writing fantasy and sci-fi novels because you’re only limited by your imagination.In addition, I'm was an Explorer Scout and I love camping, sailing and other outdoor activities as well as cooking.Furthermore, I do quite a bit of charity work as well. For example: in early 2018 I was a part of a youth panel which was involved in creating a report with research to try and get government funding for organised youth groups and through this panel. I was invited to Prince Charles’ 70th birthday party and how some of us got in the royal photograph.Finally, I am going to university and I hope to get my doctorate in clinical psychology in a few years.

That really did annoy her because Lora wanted to have her magic harp playing in the background, she wanted to feast on her ever-lasting grape tree and she just wanted her own equipment.

Was that really too much to ask?

Instead Lora stood in front of a very long blood-red wooden table like the one she had eaten at plenty of times before whenever the God-King (which was really just a mortal man but the people seemed to love the nickname) wanted her to
