Writer of shadows. Dreamer of magic. Lover of one, mother to one.

Hi, I'm Laila-a Tanzanian storyteller conjuring tales where love collides with terror, and reality dances with the surreal. I write horror that haunts, fantasy that enchants, and magic that lingers long after the last page. Whether it's an ancient spirit wearing a loved one's face or a girl discovering her power beneath a moonlit sky-I'm here to tell the stories that live between worlds.

When I'm not chasing my brilliant daughter's laughter or dreaming up scenes beside my husband, Matthew (my favorite plot twist), I'm pouring soul and stardust into every chapter.

Come for the chills. Stay for the spells.

-Because even nightmares need a narrator.
