My books are about love and timing, and about the way people really talk, funny and heartfelt in the same conversation. I write warm romance set in Trinidad and Tobago: love stories about grown people who should know better. Where the Fireworks Fall is my debut novella. I am based in Trinidad and Tobago, and I am glad to answer reader questions here on Goodreads.
