In May of 2022, I began writing a series of stories for my Facebook page and it soon became evident that a novel was taking shape. Once I'd completed the series, I put it all together and decided to try my luck at becoming published. In February 2023, I signed a publishing contract and in November 2024, my first novel was published.
