Story Behind The Book

I began writing as a creative outlet following the death of my sister due to a domestic violence episode. While I didn't consciously include my sister, myself, or any members of my family while writing "Act of Redemption" input from my readers pointed out that the character Shevata is "stuck" in a curse as a teenager, unable to move on with her life. The series follows her journey to regain her humanity. I agree that when my sister died, I was in shock and, like the readers noted, was 'stuck' for a long time, unable to accept that she was gone. But faith, family, friends, and creativity enabled me to find closure and the inner peace I needed. As part of my initial ad campaign for "Act of Redemption," I attempt to increase awareness of domestic violence, as anyone of any age, gender or background can fall victim to it.
