Welcome to my author website!

As you scroll through these website pages, I hope you find a scene or a line or a book that builds a bridge between you and me, between your lived experiences and mine.

Why do I want this from a website? Because ever since we started scribbling on the walls of caves, the arts and storytelling have built our bridges of mutual empathy or understanding.

Start by getting some tips for your writing journey in my free writers resources.
