New Year, New… something

I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t keep on top of things in the last half of 2020. I know I’m not the the only one and I’m trying not to feel guilty about it. Because sometimes, “shit happens”. 2020 sent major life changes in the latter half of the year, including a move to the

Poem: Narcissus

This week I wanted to share a poem with you. I wrote this back in college and it seemed the right time to share it.

A Political Statement

Originally posted on my old website 31/05/2019 I try to keep politics off this page. You’re here to be entertained, not to debate politics. But sometimes things happen in the world that require you to take a stand, to make a statement, to be heard. As a writer if I do not use my voice

The Lady of Zion

Disclaimer: This was originally posted on my old website 1/07/2019. I’ll be writing today about my inspirations for The Lady of Zion because due to the Christian, Judaic and Pagan themes, I fear it might be a little controversial.

Time to be honest, I kind of hate the internet age. Don’t get me wrong, the internet has given us many wonderful things, and quite frankly I couldn’t be an Indie Author if the internet hadn’t opened all these opportunities.

Book Review: Evensong by Krista Walsh

This week I am running off copious amounts of coffee. I’m starting to get my writing mojo back and I’m getting back into the swing of things.

Poem: My Greatest Fear

Happy New Year! I missed posting last week because I’ve had internet connection issues this week. Everything is back to normal now (I hope) and I’m really excited to share another poem with you this week. I don’t normally write poems this long but to tell this story it really did need to be this

The First

What’s the first book you ever bought? The first book I remember buying was a paperback copy of A Little Princess by Francis Hodgson Burnett while on a family holiday to Singapore. I remember it clearly, partly, because it’s attached to another memory I have that happened in that bookstore. I was seven and it
