About

I was born in Cyprus in 1967 to parents who both hail from the Caribbean island of Nevis, and have also lived in Germany as well as St Kitts and Nevis in the West Indies.

I have always enjoyed reading and was encouraged to do so from a very early age, and that is partly what inspired me to write. Even today, I can remember the excitement and wonder I used to experience as a child when reading fantasy and adventure stories, and I hope that through my writing, I will be able to inspire and encourage other children's interest and pleasure in reading as well.

Story Behind The Book

The idea for the book, The Firestone Crystal, came about 10 years ago when I was on maternity leave, and started off as a short story that I would be able to read to my children when they were older. It continued to grow as I occasionally added a chapter here and there as the years went by, eventually turning into full-length novel. I have always enjoyed reading and was encouraged to do so from a very early age, and that is partly what inspired me to write. Even today, I can remember the excitement and wonder I used to experience as a child when reading fantasy and adventure stories, and I hope that through my writing, I will be able to inspire and encourage other children's interest and pleasure in reading as well.
