Tell us a little bit about yourself, your hobbies and interests.

I love to write (obviously)! Some of my other hobbies include cooking traditional soul food for my family and soaking up culture at museums and concerts.

When and why did you start writing books?

I started writing poetry as a preteen and books in my late twenties. I'm an empath and things tend to affect me deeply . When I get too full of any given emotion, I write for release. I have many stories to tell.

What made you decide to tackle writing as a career?

Far too many friends and family members have encouraged me to publish my books for years! After extensive research on publishing houses and the like, I finally found the right platform for me (Amazon KDP) and in 2023 decided to go for it! I truly believe that there is a demographic out there for my stories and it was time to put my theory to the test.

Which one of your books or characters is your favourite?

By far, Ms. Millie from 'A Good Man' series! There is healing in laughter and Ms. Millie has a way of bringing comic relief to what could be a very heavy narrative.

Which one of your books was the hardest to write and stretched you the most as a writer?

A Good Man/Soul Ties. Creating significant growth for each of my main characters was a challenge.

Who is your favourite author and book?

Maya Angelou - I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.

What book are you reading right now?

Atomic Habits by James Clear.

Where do you get your inspiration for your books?

Everyday life, people watching.

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

I love to travel and spend time with my loved ones.

Do you have any new books in the works?

YES! I am working on the third book of 'A Good Man' series. Be sure to follow me for it's release date, coming soon!
