Born in Erith Kent, London in the 1960's.. Moved to live with her parents and siblings in SE London when she was two years old. She is the second youngest of eight children, although for the majority she grew up with only one older brother and a younger sister. She has three older brothers and one older sister who still reside in the West Indies. Her other two older sisters also grew up in Jamaica but now live in England. The author is a divorcee with two biological children, a step-mum to eight and a step-grandmother of three. She first started writing at a very young age - commencing with poetry and short stories. She has always had a passion for writing and is well known to be passionate about her craft. She has eight O Levels and four CSE academic qualifications inclusive of A Level English. She attended Brixton and North London Colleges and has a Diploma in Creative Writing and also a Diploma in Counselling. She currently resides in SE London with her teenaged son. Her interests and hobbies include: music, reading, sports and working on a voluntary basis with disadvantaged youths and cancer patients in the capacity of mentorship and giving support. She has been partially disabled for many years but strives on a daily basis to maintain her independence and limiting mobility. She is pro-active in highlighting the plights of missing loved ones of colour who are, unfortunately, not afforded equal or non-bias media coverage when they go missing [fb page: WE HAVE LOVED ONES MISSING TOO]. She has always been known as an advocate for justice in all capacities for all peoples.
'The Journey of I & I' is her first published novel, written initially as a form of therapy after surviving domestic violence and childhood abuse as a young child growing up.view less
