3 books11 followersWhen I was growing up, my mother enforced a rule in our house that Saturday trips to the local public library were mandatory. Although she wasn't an academic herself, she had the insight to push us into loving literature.
My brother, sister and I would walk down the street to the Albion Public Library and choose books for the week. I found myself absorbed in the stories. It spurred my own craft, and when I wasn't reading I was behind closed doors, in my room writing.
When my Grade 5 teacher gave me a certificate for story writing, I realized who I wanted to be.
It took me a long time, but I needed to live before I could write. One day, I sat down in front of my computer, and Brown Girl in the Room, came to life.
My first short story, Pies for Lunch was published by the Caribbean Writer in 2021 and shortlisted for the Canute A. Broadhurst Prize for short fiction.
My second novel, The Elevator was published by Palimpsest Press in 2024.
