Background
Information

|
Writing is my passion; it's as essential to my life as breathing. I am a woman of intense passion and I write stories that reflect this ~ the kinds of stories that I most love to read. By combining the old world gothic feel of such classic favorites as Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights & Rebecca with the strong elements of sensuality in popular modern fiction, & by drawing from my years of philosophy study, fascination with British/European history, as well as my love of romance & poetry. Interweaving these threads together I offer a uniquely refreshing voice for today’s readers—by creating a vivid sensually evocative world of the past with multifaceted characters that grow and evolve as they face the trials of their lives—characters that feel deeply and love passionately—within a world of light and shadows—of choices and consequences.

‘Dhariya ~ Prelude To A Dark Legacy’ has many exclusive elements that are both self-defining & poignant — I am not alone in this opinion - it has been critiqued & received extremely high praise from such accomplished authors as Jo Beverly, Jack Whyte & Don McQuinn, all of whom felt it would be well received & appeal to a wide range of readers, giving it great marketing potential.

Additional Information

I’ve had a number of poems published - I've also attended the Surrey International Writers Conference for a number of years which gave me invaluable tools to hone my skills - my first year I met the successful author Don McQuinn - he took a great interest in my work & I’ve been extremely fortunate to have him as my mentor since then. Through his guidance & encouragement I have reached farther, risked more & set my sights higher. Over & above all else, however, I believe my most important credentials as a writer are my passion & commitment to my craft, the willingness to give what the work demands to make it the best that it can be
