ABOUT ME

 

I was born in London, U.K. in the mid-1960’s to parents who had emigrated from Portland in Jamaica. The late 1960’s and 1970’s were a time of so much change, with racism and segregation being an everyday event for black people. I grew up understanding that determination was the key to finding your dreams, and achieving them. To never let someone say, “You can’t” without giving my all.

 

This determination to prove people wrong about where I was heading, led me to obtain a degree in The History of Art & Archaeology, from SOAS, University of London, at the ripe age of thirty-four, while having two young children to care for and also being a single parent.

 

I now have four more children, along with a long-suffering husband. I do a multitude of things, including teach, write and read profusely. I never sit still, unless I'm writing or reading,  and even then, my mind is on any number of other ways to fill my 'free' hours.

 

My love is art, especially Oil Painting and Calligraphy, but I'm loathe to give anything away anything, so my home looks like a mini art gallery.

 

I've lived in a number of cities. Cairo, before it became the centre for the Arab Spring, Algeria, my home away from home. London my home town and the place I always return to for a reminder that the world is a large place, all the while teaching and encouraging others to never give up their dreams.

 

I write mostly Contemporary Fiction, which can be anything from Romance to Historical Fiction. I have a desire to write from the heart, to give a little piece of myself each and every time.

 

I don't write Erotic fiction, although I love the interaction that can happen between two people and take pleasure in describing it, hopefully, so that some of the feelings will pass down. 

 

I'm currently working on several novels;

 

Butterflies Wings - The Flora and Fauna Sagas. An inter-racial/Intercultural series;

 

Lost - Mystery: A novel about changing identities of stolen children.

 

We All Fall Down: A crime novel. (1st part to be published as part of an anthology)

 

Cold As Ice: Contemporary IR/MC Romance.

 

Sisters:  All about the dynamics of three sisters, their loves, lives, and losses.

 

The Future Empress of the Universe: Teen Adventure novel.

 

Karma: When karma has a personality, what would she be like, what about if Karma fell in love? A story about "What goes around, comes around", and who's going to get hurt in the end.
