Welcome to my site where you can find more information about my writing (~book) & other general musings
Every month, for a couple of days I am struck by a melancholic funk that I can't get out of. A few days ago I tried more healthy ways to cope. I went for an hours swim, did yoga for an hour, walked in the woods but none of these helped me in the slightest.... Continue Reading →
My book had a higher rank than Bram Stokers' Dracula! I just have to shout out with pride before I continue with my post! As you will know, I was recently told that I needed to re-check my book because of grammar errors! The person whose criticism I took did it in a manner that... Continue Reading →
What I presume you all know by now is that I'm dyslexic. Not severely, but enough. I love the written word, how books allow you to escape into different worlds and how just 26 letters are the foundation to most of what I know. Does that mean I'm good with them? No! I use them... Continue Reading →

There... Continue Reading →
I'm in shock that someone loved my book so much they came to my website to let me know. I question their sanity, but in a good way. I've deleted all PII info and shared the fan mail everywhere I can because it's so exciting for me! I can't tell you how proud and validated... Continue Reading →
I thought that airing my trauma would heal me and that I was therefore free. I had music playing as a soundtrack to all I did and I felt good. It was beautiful because for the first time I could experience just being, in that, I mean existing. I looked out at the world and... Continue Reading →
Isn't reading amazing! It's a great escapism. Growing up, nearly all of the books I read, the lead was nearly always a white CIS character. Black characters were reserved for those from the USA. This taught me that the world saw black people either as impoverished Africans or from the USA. That was my main... Continue Reading →
