Madeline Drew
I was fourteen when I wrote my first novel.
After I finished the first manuscript ideas just kept coming. I was writing every chance I could get. When I finished High School I completed a Diploma of Creative Writing, it helped me realise that being an author is a dream I couldn't possibly give up. I now have at least thirty story ideas laying in wait, I'll get through them all, one day!
I'm an enneagram three!
Those who know me (and also know the enneagram) will agree that I am as three as a three can be! For those of you who don't know what this means, I would encourage you to research the 9 enneagram types. The enneagram has taught me so much about myself. It's a great self development tool!

The most interesting thing about me...
I can thank my father and grandfather for giving me my best party trick; my colourblindness.
The form of colourblindness I have is called strong protanopia.
​
Most colours are hard for me to identify. My colour vision is dependent on lighting, my mood and how tired I am.
Only 0.6% of the female population is colourblind, which makes me a rare specimen!
