Author's Bio

     I was born and raised in Jamaica, later moving to sunny South Florida to complete my college education. I spend my daylight hours as a public administrator working in my local library. At night, I am usually writing, playing video games, reading, watching TV, or any feasible combination of these activities with writing as the focal point.
     My writing career began with the creation of poetry which I did for many years. I later graduated to erotic romance, succumbing to the voices of the heroes and heroines in my head. My stories cross several genres and themes, involving a mix of all kinds of loving and always with a happy ending.
     I'm very happy to be a part of Siren-BookStrand, and I dream of the day when writing will be my full-time (and only) career.

Author's Profile

Q: When did you first consider yourself an author?

A: The day I realized how much I enjoyed writing.

Q: How long have you been writing romance?

A: I've been writing since I was very young but never with any kind of structure. I wrote out my thoughts which later became my poems. A little over five years ago, I began writing romance at my mother's insistence. My first attempts at story telling were more along the lines of my poems, very tame. But my current writing projects are more in the realm of erotic romance of all kinds. My characters express their love verbally and physically. Recently, I became very confident with my writings and began submitting my books to publishers.

Q: What do you like most about writing? What do you like the least?

A: I like being able to express myself through my words. I write all different kinds of romance and I incorporate all different elements into the story. This experience gives me absolute freedom. The thing I like least is writing the synopsis. I always have an extremely difficult time picking the elements of the story to include in my write-up, the parts that would capture the essence of my story without leaving out something of significance.

Q: Where do you get the ideas for your stories?

A: Actually, everything inspires me. I might be watching a movie, hear a phrase or a name being said, or reading a newspaper article, these everyday things provide me with the ideas I need to create my stories. I could be walking down the street and hear someone say a name, and I think that is the perfect name for my hero or heroine. And that is how my story would begin.

Q: What is your next writing project?

A: I am working on a story that is much longer than my previous works. It is about a police officer and the quirky neighbor that needs his help. It is set in Miramar, Florida. Currently, I am doing the revisions and I hope to have that completed for submission soon.

Q: Do you have any quirks related to your writing?

A: Only that my laptop and a writing pad are always with me. I never know when inspiration will strike and so I always try to be prepared. I will scribble a name I like, or a phrase, or even a place that seems interesting. Or I might write out a scene for a current project or a future undecided one. Unfortunately, I seem to always get ideas for my stories while driving, on I-95 in South Florida rush hour traffic. Aargh.
