Born and raised in sunny South Africa, my travels took me firstly to England and then to New Zealand, where I settled for 10 years. Upon return to England with my husband and two boisterous sons, I left the corporate world behind and took on the new adventure of being a stay-at-home mum. It was during this time, at the age of 37, that I summoned the courage to do what I have loved to do since teenagehood – to write, to bring the characters in my head to life in the form of a first novel, which I had started 10 years ago but never finished.

In my spare time, I love to bake for my family, read, and of course, submerge myself in the creative pool of bringing characters to life and threading narratives together.

Hi Skylar - I'm a book reviewer and freelance editor and I just wanted to reach out just in case you were looking for an editor, proofreader, or book reviewer. I can be reached here on Goodreads or at lilylyu7@gmail.com. I also wanted to ask, what was the inspiration for you writing Dreams of Fate? Wishing you all the best!

Thank you so much for your question ☺
I've always believed in fate and the power of dreams. Have you ever had a dream so vivid that it felt real? A dream so strong that it stayed with you long after you woke?
The idea for Dreams of Fate came to me in a dream... I know, total cliché 🤣 And it got me thinking about the power of our subconscious mind.
At first I thought it would never work for a book because people wouldn't find it believable in the Contemporary Romance genre, but I am elated with how it's been received. It's a deeply emotional story and one that I hope people will speak of long after they've read the last word.
I hope this answers your question and I would of course be thrilled to have you read and review it 🤎
Much love,
Skylar(less)
