Other Books

So, I started writing at an early age.  I was the kid who won the school's creative writing competitions for 7 years in a row - ages 11-17.  

Memorable stories from my early teens were 'The Island of Ra' which was about a pacific island plagued by sightings of a supernatural wolf, told in the form of newspaper articles and 'The Day I Married Micheal Knight'... which, I guess, speaks for itself.  To be fair, I was only 9 at the time and he was cool.

After I left school, I mostly wrote short stories until I started work on my first (published) full-length novel, now titled 'Shaiyan'.  Shaiyan was written in 2011 over 14 days and originally written in the 1st person.  Boy did I have a lot to learn!  I had written two (awful) novels prior and went on to  write a number of synopsies and half-finished works, most of which were more exercises in learning to write coherently then anything else.  

Most of my work has a supernatural/conspiracy theory bent, as that's what I love myself, but I would like to point out, all were started long before a certain sparkly-vampire series was published, and made Vampires unsexy for perhaps generations to come. :-P 

More than anything, I wanted to show characters who struggled with adversity and overcame.

In any case, while the ideas may not be new, I hope I can capture the reader's imagination through the characters, who I personally love dearly.  I hope you come to love them too.  Especially the kick-ass women!
