How I got here is an interesting question, and honestly I am not sure myself. After living a life of corporate dreams I felt it was time to start dreaming for myself. I put pen to paper and decided to try to write my first book. 

​

The world is a scary place. Full of unknowns and criticisms. When I first started writing, I had no idea what to expect. I have always been amazed by everyone who has written a book, and a little bit of jealousy inspired me to prove that I can write one too. Maybe it wasn’t entirely jealously, but advanced warning signs of an oncoming mid-life crisis.

​

But, maybe it was something else. I have always loved falling into fantasy worlds that are more than just words on a page. They cause us to drift into imagining what it would be like to live there, to experience magic, and to daydream about adventures with your favourite hero or heroine. 

​

And so, inspired by the birth of my daughter I decided to try and create a world that people would fall in love with, the same way I have. As each of these heroes must face the dark, putting myself out there and doing something I had no clue how to do also comes with its dark moments.

 

The moments of self-doubt that start as a whisper in the back of your mind telling you that you can’t do this, and that it is too hard and to just give up. In those moments, my effort was refocused by just hoping, and dreaming, that when I was done writing that at least one person would care about the stories I had written and would fall in love with the world that I created.

 

As you take this journey with me, I hope that you enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoyed imagining it. To find out more about my work, browse my newly updated Portfolio and get in touch if you have any questions or would like to discuss working together.
