A love for writing
From the moment that Eden learnt to write, she has written stories. Her first real book was when she was 5 (The Magic Horse) and she hasn't stopped since. A good portion of her spare time is spent writing stories about all sorts of things, most of them have horses and cats and dragons in, but she does explore many other subjects too. I suppose it is her love for books that also gives her the enthusiasm to write, as we walked into the library today she took a deep breath, glanced sweepingly around the library and declared "Mummy, I love books so much". Learning how to type has now opened a new avenue for her book writing, and she can wile away many hours just typing away. She is creating a series about a family of dragons which we all find entertaining, and Jude asks for her illustrated books as if they had came straight off the library shelf.
She plans to illustrate the stories too, these ones were done on the computer.

These are her hand written ones, this horse one is a particular favourite of her brother.
This is a series that she has created about a Bakery called The Cooking Parlour. Each character has their own personality, and she has created uniforms for all the staff working there.
The series goes on.
This is a colouring in version, she adds so much detail to each book.
And a new story about a cat to find an excuse to use the typewriter, there are many more mistakes on this one as she was not able to go back and erase her mistakes.
She also creates worksheets and activity books for Niamh and Jude, which she sells to them.
Well, she seems quite decided that she wants to be a writer/illustrator one day and says that is what she will study for when she is older.
