  Nurturing Young Minds: Coping with Emotions Through Creative Expression In today’s fast-paced world, it’s more important than ever to help our little ones understand and express their emotions. I’m excited to share insights from my children’s book, which gently introduces topics like anxiety, depression, and anger, and offers creative ways for kids to manage these feelings. In this post, I’ll talk about some common mental health challenges kids face and offer practical solutions—plus, I’m thrilled to announce a FREE PDF with coloring pages designed to encourage mindfulness and calm. Why Talking About Mental Health Matters for Kids Children experience a wide range of emotions, and often, they don’t have the words or tools to express what they’re feeling. By discussing mental health in a kid-friendly way, we empower them to understand their emotions and develop healthy coping strategies. Emotional Literacy: Learning to identify and name their feelings is the first step toward mana...

🍄 Behind the Scenes: Writing a Thriller That Keeps Readers on Edge

Hello, my beloved friends,  I’m currently working on a new book—one that takes a fresh twist on the thriller genre. The Echoes of Tomorrow is a story filled with high stakes, psychological tension, and a dark mystery waiting to unfold. This novel is different from my previous works, diving deep into themes of corruption, revenge, and the thin line between justice and madness. There’s something electrifying about writing a thriller—the tension, the mystery, the slow unraveling of secrets. Unlike other genres, thrillers demand a constant push-and-pull between giving readers just enough information to keep them hooked while holding back enough to maintain suspense. As I dive into my latest project, The Echoes of Tomorrow , I’ve been reflecting on what it takes to craft a truly compelling thriller. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at my process and the key elements I focus on while bringing this story to life. 1. The Power of the Hook A great thriller starts with an unforgettable hook....

A Journey Through Stories and Seasons: Inspiration behind the ideas

  Every story begins with a spark. For me, that spark was deeply personal— The Dawning was born from my real relationship with my mother, a bond marked by confusion and heartbreak. Writing it became a path toward understanding, healing, and finding hope through pain. It was my first published book, but more importantly, it was my heart on the page. From that raw beginning, my journey as a storyteller continued to grow, leading me to new books, new dreams, and a vision that I long to share with you. From The Dawning to Mystical Bounty While The Dawning came from a personal place of loss and discovery, Mystical Bounty takes my storytelling into realms of fantasy and adventure. In this world of werewolves and succubi, I explore power, passion, and the fight for identity. It’s a story of transformation, reflecting my own growth as a writer and a person.

"Why I write, My Journey as an Author"

       From a young age, storytelling has been a deep passion of mine. I loved getting lost in a good book, drifting off into another world created by words and imagination. As an only child, I spent countless hours entertaining myself, allowing my creativity to run wild. Although I have siblings, we didn’t grow up together, which left me alone with my thoughts and vivid imagination. When I was 13 years old, my love for writing blossomed through poetry. I was so passionate that I submitted some of my poems for publication. To this day, I can’t recall exactly where they were published, but I do remember proudly receiving a certificate confirming that my poem had made it into print. By the time I was 15, I had started writing my very first book, titled Sweet Sixteen Bites , a romance between a human and a vampire. Although that premise has since become quite common, back then, it felt fresh and exciting. I spent hours typing on my dad’s computer, printing out chapter a...
