Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I was born and raised in South Africa. I had a lonely childhood and always felt that the people around me, did not understand me. When I was 12 years old, I wrote my first poem and found that I had a love of writing. I realized that I had tapped into a world where I could express my emotions, feelings and provide an outlet for the words I had trapped inside. Over the years, I grew bolder and started writing non-fiction and as the saying goes...the rest is history.
What do you read for pleasure?
I enjoy reading fantasy, love stories and books I can relate to. If I can totally immerse myself (lose myself) into the story, then the author has successfully done their job.
