Hertfordshire, England

I graduated with a BA Honours from the University of East Anglia as well as a Diploma from Mountview Academy of Arts. I have been writing since 1999 but before I started my writing career, I worked in the entertainment industry as agent to actors and performers. After I met my partner, I decided to quit my job and write a novel. So I stayed at home in Hertfordshire, England and concentrated on the book while attending to two kids.

During these early years, I realized how precious childhood is and I decided not to waste my time and spend it with them. I wanted them to know and feel that I was there for them, but that I also had dreams and goals; I wanted to give them something that would inspire them later in life. So inspired by them, I decided to write a story that they would be proud to pick up, read, and also learn some important lessons from.

I have always been fascinated by ghosts and time travel, and the idea to write a novel came to me after staying at an old villa in Spain with my partner and two young daughters. One night, I had a chance encounter with a ghost for the first time in my life. This experience sparked the idea about a novel involving ghost and time travel. Thus, “Riddle of the Red Bible”, my first novel, was born.

My debut novel primarily deals with ghost and time machine. It also asks our common questions about it, as well as many others about who we are, why we are here and what the ramifications of what we are doing to our planet are? Do ghosts have a deeper hidden message other than to simply “haunt” us?

All these questions is encapsulated in a story involving, ghosts, action, adventure, humour, romance and time travel; all wrapped up in a huge journey of self- discovery for the young lead female.

It is the story of Courtney Nivots, a teenager in search for the deeper meaning of her life. It is a story that everyone will like, especially the young adults, firstly to entertain, and also to encourage them to ask questions about where their life is headed and whether they can alter their path to a more positive destination that will benefit everyone.

I believe this novel fulfils my lifelong dream to a unique and exciting new angle on time travel.
