For most of my life, reading simply wasn’t a part of who I was. I never cared to pick up a book, and I certainly never imagined I would become an author. But in 2013, at the age of forty-three, everything changed. After a visit to Cheshire, England, I decided—almost impulsively—to read my first book. That simple choice opened a world I hadn’t known I was missing. Within weeks, I found myself completely absorbed in stories, characters, and the power of imagination. Reading quickly became a joy, an escape, and a passion.

 

Not long after, an idea struck me so strongly that I felt compelled to write it down. What began as a few inspired words soon blossomed into my debut novel, The Power of Love. Set in 16th-century Cheshire, it follows two young people brought together by a sister’s desperate scheme to escape an unwanted marriage—only to have one fateful decision unravel an entire family.

 

Finishing that book awakened something in me. I continued the journey with my next novel, Love Across Time, which revisits those same souls reincarnated in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, given a second chance to right the wrongs of their past lives.

 

What began as two connected stories has since grown into a six-book series that I continue to develop today. Over more than a decade of writing—from 2013 to now, in 2025—I’ve traveled for research, explored history and spirituality, and embraced a creative life I never expected to love.

 

My work weaves themes of love, destiny, and redemption with a touch of the mystical, exploring the idea that there is far more to life—and to love—than we often realize.

 

It still amazes me that a lifelong non-reader became an author. But that unexpected journey is what fuels my passion: the knowledge that stories can transform us, sometimes the moment we least expect it.
