A Bit About Me

I am an author, inspirational speaker, and workshop facilitator.

Inspiring Change One Story at a Time.

In 2020, I wrote my debut novel, Katie, A New Chapter, a self-help work of fiction based on my life experiences with poor mental health, domestic abuse, and major surgery. Katie proves her resilience and makes friends along the way (A bit like I did.) I am proud to say this book has helped to save a life.

I found the writing process so cathartic and enjoyable that I continued pursuing my passion and published three further fiction books:

*Tom, The Next Chapter,

*Falling in Love at 40,

*Sedrick’s Adventures in Hopeland.

I have also released the audio version of Katie, A New Chapter, narrated by me.

I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I have enjoyed writing them.

As an inspirational speaker, I openly share my story and speak on topics including but not limited to:

*Developing good mental wellness,
*Being your authentic self,
*Building your confidence.

My talks are interactive, so make sure you have a pen and a piece of paper.

Most of my workshops use my programme, Healing Through Creative Writing, although bespoke workshops are available.

I am open to collaborations and strive to bring love, light, and inspiration to those around me.

In my spare time, I love to walk, sing and read.
