Hello and welcome! 

My writing journey began as far back as 1991 when I was required to write a composition outlining the activities I partook in over our December school holidays. My imagination worked in conjunction with my right hand to seamlessly create a string of words which blew my school teachers mind. To my amazement, I received the highest mark in class for that piece of writing. “If you ever want to write a story, you should write it like this.” These were the very words of my school teacher at age 13. I was later on congratulated on my ability to write a Talented story.

Life Happened- Fast forward to July 2015 when I survived a Near-death experience. Watching my entire life flash by my eyes within a matter of seconds, to a time when I pleaded with God to “take me.” The excruciating pain I went through was none like I had experienced before. Firstly, I experienced a time of total silence in complete darkness, followed by seeing a blindingly bright white light ahead of me. Sounds a bit cliche but this was my honest experience.

In January 2016 I enrolled on a Short Story writing course at City University, London UK. The main requirement was to complete a full-length short story by the end of the course, however, I found myself writing three Short Stories and completed them all by the end of the term. 

I now find myself in the year 2022 having self published 3 of my current ebooks and in the process of getting my first paperback out into the world. I have gone as far as updating my Writers website and now working on a marketing strategy.

A light bearer had shown me the way in primary school, but destiny had other plans. I would not change my experiences even if I had the superpower ability to do so.

Taking a keen interest in cars, stripping down every toy my parents bought me, just to rebuild them into something else. Laying under greasy undercarriages to tinker with a gearbox or fuel line of some sort. These were some of my fondest childhood memories. Need I also mention that I almost burnt down our family home at age 5 while experimenting with a box of matches, setting alight a bag of potatoes, and engulfing the pantry in angry flames rushing to turn everything in its way into ashes.

I pursued a career in the Engineering field after spending four years working myself up from a party-driven, adventure-seeking labourer to more serious roles in installation, testing, and inspection, and commissioning of both Mechanical and Electrical Systems in the UK construction industry.

Some of my experiences range from Auditing to credit control, Share Trading to Dividend payouts, ski lift operator to camp counselor, call center advisor to mobile engineer, installation technician to BMS controls engineer, and lastly, volunteer teacher to entrepreneur.

An activist standing up against injustices saw me partake in various workers union protests, representing workers at hearings and preparing cases to be presented at the Tribunal in the UK.

Having traveled the globe extensively, my broad range of experiences encompasses my ability to intuitively create content like no other.

At a tender age I fell in love with the Spanish language and have been on the journey of becoming fluent in drips and drabs, one day I will surely be in a position to communicate just as fluent as a native speaker, fingers crossed. Bueno suerte para mi 🙂 

I look forward to assisting you on your writing journey.

All the best
