    Noëlle McHenry

    My name is Noëlle McHenry. I'm a Canadian author, and I've been writing dramatic fiction since I was a young squirt. I began writing my first story in 2006. It wasn't very good, but you need to start somewhere, and I feel like I have improved so much since then. What used to be a mere hobby is now steadily becoming my passion. Almost all of my stories are part of a fictional universe that I call Project Eclipse. I have been developing the characters and stories of this universe since 2011. In all honesty, I could probably say these characters are like family to me. I hope to have many more years of writing and improvement ahead of me. I can't wait to write my next story, whatever it may be.
