I grew up surrounded by poetry and music. My grandmother was a pianist, and my mother always had a book in her hand. Writing became my way of expressing emotions I didn’t know how to say out loud.

It’s called The Quiet Hours and it’s a gentle literary novel about grief and unexpected friendships. It’s slow-paced, reflective, and touches on how people heal in different ways.

The spark came from [personal experience/news article/historical event]. I kept imagining 'what if...?' scenarios, and the characters took shape around that central question. For example, the protagonist's struggle with [specific challenge] mirrors themes I’ve always wanted to explore, like resilience in the face of systemic injustice.

Ruthless scheduling! I write for 90 minutes every morning before my day job. Weekends are for deeper dives. It’s not glamorous, but protecting that time is non-negotiable. Saying 'no' to distractions is the indie author’s superpower.

I’ve always been fascinated by storytelling, even as a child. I started writing short stories in notebooks and never really stopped. Over time, it became a way to process my thoughts and connect with others through words.

Sure! My latest book is a mix of personal reflection and fiction. It explores themes like resilience, loss, and self-discovery through the lens of a character who is trying to make sense of their past. It's deeply personal but written in a way I hope many people can relate to.
