Oh hi there.

It's been a long while, I know. But am back! With Lights! Finished and ready to be shared with the world!

This beautiful dark fantasy baby will be out on Wattpad next Thursday (May 7th), and it will be raising money for the Trussell Trust, a network of foodbanks in the UK that needs a bit of help in this lockdown era.

See you next Thursday!!!!

    As I am reminded while attempting a tree pose on this rainy Sunday: my balance is a little shaky. I have been wobbly for most of my life and even more so in the last few months. Here I am, walking on a very thin wire, making it to the other side, only … Continue reading Months 4/5/6/7/8 – Wobbly is My Balance

Hello my dearest reader(s). I know we are well into March now, although the weather is firmly set into winter grounds still, so this is a big-ish update, and a surprise: Hell yes. Victory Rolls, the reading, is live. Enjoy, comment, tweet me, etc. I am very proud of this story and I hope you’ll … Continue reading Month 2/3 – Happy

  So we’re 30 something days into 2018 and my goals are doing okay, despite a cold /bronchitis that brought me down for a few weeks. I usually get very excited about January – there’s the promise of new beginnings, and there’s my birthday. This year I lost the spark a little bit. Blame it … Continue reading Month 1 – Light is coming

I guess it’s time for another yearly post! Gosh, 2017 did not go to plan at all. But that’s okay. I have somewhat neglected my writing for the past (two) year(s). I guess hitting my thirties sent me into panic mode and, while I was frantically trying to find some sense of purpose and security … Continue reading Oh, hello there

I was planning on posting a 2016 retro post, then I decided against it – I am too nostalgic, too focused on dissecting the past for my own good. We are a few hours into 2017 already,  I don’t know what the future holds. I don’t know if this year will be as challenging as … Continue reading 2017

i haven’t published anything since 2014. I focused on my first novella- length, Lights, and did a lot of things, words and non-words related. It’s been a packed couple of years. I am very happy to be able to share new stories with you. Lights will be available next year, and I am very proud … Continue reading Freefalling

I have been working on this manuscript on and off for almost three years now, and as you can notice, the little bar at the right side of the blog is progressing a little. I thought I would set the mood with the playlist I use when writing the story of Meira, Aidan, Niall and co. Dark […]

  I turn 30 next Sunday. This is what I could tell you: It’s exciting, and I can’t wait to see what the new decade has in store for me. (off-topic, this is weird to think of what us, eighties babies, have seen during the last 30 years: the birth of the Euro; the fall of the […]
