Please introduce yourself and tell us what you do?

Essentially I am a storyteller and it has been a big dream of mine to bring stories to the children of the world that captivate and inspire them in their solitude and in the company of their loved ones.

Please tell us about your story/journey?

Writing has been an important part of my life for as long as I can remember. It all began with a very ambitious (and not quite finished) whodunit novel in first grade. I believe it was my beagle, Lykke, who inspired me to create a book series. I vividly recall the moment it all started in a bookshop located in Trafalgar Square in London—UK. During that visit, my beagle somehow sniffed out a Children's Writers and Authors Yearbook 2012 from one of the shelves. That was my try-a-ha moment! Since then, I have navigated through countless drafts, celebrated tiny victories, and embraced the wonderful process of writing children's stories. Along the way, I’ve teamed up with superb collaborators like the illustrating team Dazzling Media and editor Kerry Plume, who helped bring my visions to life.

Any message for readers?

Keep reading, dreaming, and believing in the power of stories to inspire change and bring us together. Take good care of yourselves and the ones you love, nurture your interests and most important of all... have fun!
