Hi, I have been writing since I was eighteen years old when I versed my first poem. Since then, I have written hundreds of poems. More recently I have published a collection of my Poetry on Amazon.com: It's called '63 Poems' Watchers of the mind.
I never thought of myself as someone who could put together a book or books. I might not have received the opportunity were it not for me falling ill with cancer in 2004. I see that illness, which was the worst thing in the world back then, as the key that freed my mind to indulge in what I can only call absolute passion. Back then, in my convalescence, I captured the essence of three stories. I quickly published the first two stories; fearing in my heart that the cancer was coming back to get me. I was on the verge of releasing the last story when I paused. The story told of a sacred manuscript, and I had not given sufficient insight to the reader, as to where this sacred manuscript originated. So I decided to take some notes about the origins of the sacred manuscript.
My first note 001, turned into a 90,00 + word novel. This is my debut novel, The Last Land, released on 13th April 2020
There's little so special than to be caught up in the wonderment as it comes to me, I am all but in the scenes as my fingers dance on the keys.
I began writing my debut novel in 2012, and I completed the first draft in 2015 and have been polishing up my work since then.
To be afforded enough time to tap into the river of creativity and to indulge in my life's passions. That I may express that which flows there; I have been allowed the freedom to be me - such a gracious gift.
