TF Walsh blog tour post

As promised, I'm cutting into my brief blogging breaking and welcoming T.F. Walsh to my blog as part of her Cloaked in Fur tour. Take it away, T.F...




Hi Annalisa, thanks for having me on your blog. Today I want to chat about what lead me to become a writer.

As a child I remember scribbling short stories on the inside cover of my sister’s books, and I have no idea why. Perhaps I was pretending my stories were published, or I secretly wanted everyone to pay attention to me, after all I was the middle child, but whatever the reason, one thing is certain, I’ve always loved telling tales. It may have something to do with my father’s passion for writing. He’s a well-respected Romanian poet and author, and holds the same dedication to books I do. After all, he had converted our family garage into a miniature library, filled with all sorts of books. A grand table ran the length of the room, piled high with papers and books. He still spends his time in the garage today, typing on his computer, which used to be a typewriter, and to be honest that’s exactly how I see myself in many years to come (but maybe not in a garage) creating fictional worlds and characters and bringing them to life. This would completely satisfy me, a fact my husband is well aware of and comfortable with.

What do you see yourself doing in ten years?

  17. Hi guys! Thanks for making Tania feel so welcome. I actually have no idea where my love of books comes from - even now, my parents have all their books on one bookcase, and they are mostly books about gardening, maths and local history photo books.
