Rainbow Reed

Writer of Dark Romantic and Gothic Horror Poems I went to a really rough secondary school, after surviving that I decided to do something with my life! I decided to go to university studying history and professional education. In the first year I found I hated teaching and found it mind numbing boring. I asked my Mum, a teacher, if she liked teachng, she said no she always hated it to... then I asked why did you tell me to do it? Well I carried it on for 3 more yars got a teaching job then thought damn! I'm still bored. However, at uni. the language lecturers read my poems and told me they were good and I should try to get them published. That was the turning point of my life.... I was finally good at something! After that I embarked on the epic struggle of finding myself as a writer/ poet. Tackling the 4 big writing questions.... -Was I good enough to make a living as a writer/ poet? -Would anyone ever read my work? -What genre did I fit into? -Would I ever get published? My first poetry book " The Wicked Come" was published in 2011. I am now working on a second poetry book and a fantasy horror novel.
