Steve Wilds
My name is Steve, I'm 43 and I live in Leeds in the UK.I've been writing on and off for most of my life, although it's only recently that I've decided to approach it a little more seriously. I'm here to learn, so if there's anything you see in any of my stories that you think could be improved please feel free to let me know. As well as writing also enjoy hiking, history, learning about everything and I've been a videogamer ever since there were videogames to play.
