I grew up in Guyana before moving to the United States. I met my husband and now live in Canada.
They were slim pickings when it came to romance novels or romance with diverse characters. That’s just the way it was back then. So I read what I had and enjoyed most of it.
I think because I had little choice other than to appreciate what I had, I write what I enjoy. My characters come in whatever form I dream up.

Readers who enjoy regency romance with flawed yet determined heroes and heroines.
That said, I do write for personal enjoyment.

I’m far less patient than I thought.
Writing The Captain’s Lady was and still is fun. I think that pure enjoyment sustained me during the nail biting process of waiting for edits.
As an indie author, loads of patience is essential during each stage of publishing. I was reminded how supportive and important a strong community is.

First, it’s a new series so my thoughts might sway as the characters grow. I tend to have a love hate relationship with my characters.
I love Nicholas’s strong will. Isabella proves time and time again that she’ll be seen for who she is and not for title. Then there is Cassie, she can be such trouble and I can’t wait to see what she does next.

I can’t say enough about the resources available to publish a successful book. The best practices are invaluable.

I have Cystic Fibrosis (CF).
Living with CF shapes a great deal of my decisions. I’ve learned to be flexible, determined, and though the process is longer than most, persistent with my writing.
There are so many great stories waiting to be told by amazing creatives and I wish they are written as though tomorrow is not guaranteed.
One of things I tell myself is to fear not, write anyway. My genre, my length, my story.

Fans fuel my writing. There is great excitement when they love the characters as much as I do.

I’m currently working on Loved by a Lady, book two in the Ladies in Scandal series.

With family and outdoors.
