Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in Pretoria, South Africa but was not at home most of the time. I was placed in a boarding school from Grade 1 and yes it did influence my writing. I write from experiences and like many other people my past is not a very pleasant one. But it's also important to note that it does not define who I am now, I became a better person and a better writer because of my past.
When did you first start writing?
I started at a young age writing mainly poetry and later on when I went to high school I started playing around with stories but I have always had a vivid imagination and a way with words.
