Most of my inspiration comes from small, everyday moments. I’m often moved by simple interactions, quiet routines, or the emotional strength people show in ordinary life situations.
I’m especially inspired by relationships — between partners, parents and children, and people learning how to trust again. I also draw inspiration from reflection, memories, and the emotional layers that exist beneath everyday conversations.
For me, inspiration is less about waiting for big ideas and more about noticing the quiet stories that are already happening aro

I’m currently continuing my work on contemporary women’s fiction and romance stories that focus on emotional healing, motherhood, and second chances in life and love.
Right now, I’m developing stories that explore how people slowly rebuild trust in themselves and others after difficult experiences. I’m especially drawn to writing relationships that feel safe, supportive, and emotionally steady — the kind of love that grows quietly and naturally rather than through dramatic conf

Be patient with yourself and your creative process. Writing is rarely a straight or easy path, and moments of doubt are very normal. The most important step is to keep going, even when the excitement fades or the story feels difficult.
I often remind myself that stories grow slowly, just like people do. Allow your first draft to be imperfect and focus on telling the story honestly. Skills, confidence, and clarity usually come with time and practice.
Also, write the stories that genuinely matter to you. Readers can often feel when a story comes from a sincere place, and authenticity creates the strongest emotional connecti

The best thing about being a writer, for me, is the chance to turn emotions into stories that might quietly reach someone who needs them. Writing allows me to create characters who struggle, grow, make mistakes, and eventually find moments of peace or belonging.
What means the most to me is when a reader tells me they felt less alone while reading one of my books. Stories have a unique way of connecting people through shared feelings, even across distance and different life experiences. Writing feels like offering a small, honest piece of myself and hoping it resonates with someone else

Q: How do you find inspiration to write?
I find inspiration in everyday human emotions — conversations, relationships, quiet struggles people carry, and the ways we grow through them.
Working in healthcare has also allowed me to observe emotional resilience and human connection, which often becomes the emotional foundation of my stories.
