Hanleigh loves books more than nearly anything in the world; whether its reading them or writing them, Hanleigh just can't get enough. She relishes in the way authors can create worlds with the words they put in their books. She loves the way your imagination introduces you to a new world when you read a book. It may well be a world completely foreign to the one you live in. That world is brought to life; inspiring you to dream, captivating your imagination and enticing your senses.
Hanleigh first took to reading as a small child reading Dr Zeus. She then fell in love with romance literature when she first read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen; when she first swooned over Mr Darcy. She's read more books than she can count and owns more books than some libraries.

Hanleigh's London

"Clara, let me the f*ck in," I call through her letterbox but there's no response.


I've banged on her door and rang the bell but she's either not there or choosing to ignore me. The idea that she doesn't want to see me cuts but I remind myself that this is not about me.


"I'm going to stay here until you let me in."


I sit and wait for what feels like hours but I'm waiting for nothing and when it goes dark outside I give up. I'll try again tomorrow. She has to leave her apartment sometime. A quiet voice in my mind tells me not to give up.


I call each of her friends, one after the other, but none of them have heard from her either. It looks like I have no choice, I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow. My apartment is empty when I get back; my siblings having departed after eating the entire contents of my fridge.
