Writing and reading have been my escape for as long as I can remember. They've allowed me to step into different worlds—those created by others and those born in my mind. Many of the characters I've developed have become like friends to me. Their thoughts and emotions are so vivid that I relate to them as if they were real. This connection makes writing about them feel natural and immersive.
Writing books, however, does not come quickly. Ideas flow freely, but translating them into words is the true challenge. Yet, once I begin, the story takes on a life of its own, and I find immense joy in watching it unfold.
Some of the greatest literary works were forged in hardship, but writers grow as their writing evolves. With time and perseverance, I am confident I will become the writer I aspire to be. I was taught that life should not be defined by where you've been but by where you are going—and, more importantly, where you dream of going. My dream is to be a writer who follows her passion fearlessly, and I am hopeful for the journey ahead.
I am incredibly fortunate to have self-published my first book on Amazon. The process was challenging but rewarding. It may not be my best work, but it is a story I must tell, and I am grateful it is out in the world.
I am a hardworking woman who has experienced life in all its complexities. I am fortunate to have a supportive husband who understands and encourages my passion for storytelling. We work together, balancing responsibilities, and his unwavering support has been a significant factor in my writing journey.
After years of trying to write crime fiction, I found myself facing creative blocks and a lack of passion. I decided to change direction and move into fantasy, a genre that has always fascinated me. The shift has been exciting and liberating, allowing me to explore new realms, creatures, and adventures beyond the constraints of reality. I've discovered a new love for world-building and look forward to seeing where this journey takes me.
Now living in Bideford, I find inspiration in the beauty and history of my surroundings. The town's rich past and stunning landscapes have only fueled my creativity, helping me bring my stories to life in new and exciting ways.
