Vanna Smythe

Since I can remember, I knew I wanted to be a writer. I've tried my hand at many other professions and studies, but I never felt so fulfilled as when I am writing a story or a novel, creating life-like characters and placing them in complex and difficult situations. I've lived in New York, Lisbon, Dublin and Venice, and have traveled to many more countries. I love history, and while I don't claim that my stories are in any way historically accurate, I do draw inspiration from many cultures, past and present. I like to ask, What if? and let my imagination do the rest. Nothing that I've found so far beats that…except maybe reading a good book.
