THE MISSION

From the time I wrote my first words, I knew they would be in my life forever. Words were an obsession and I read every chance I could get. Over the years, my mission as a writer hasn’t changed much. The goal has always been to write stories that can be carried through the ages, multilayered introspections that inspire and uplift souls. I am particularly drawn to tense mysteries and thrillers that test formulaic boundaries and break rules.

 

I’m also a big fan of prolonged silences in scenes. Silence can be more revealing than dialogue, letting a character’s inner world emerge without words. In those quiet moments, you get to know who they truly are, and the story unfolds in subtleties and gestures. It’s a pure form of 'show, don’t tell,' where what’s unsaid speaks volumes.

 

This leads to authenticity which is always at the core of my stories no matter how uncomfortable it may feel. What distinguishes my approach is my focus on themes centered on marginalized voices, stories that explore resilience, justice and the forever evolving nature of the human experience. I am deeply curious about people and how they navigate personal and societal issues. In many ways, I have lived my characters' lives in some form or another. They are me and I am them. Ultimately, my goal is to move people, to spark conversation, and to awaken the quiet, spiritual warrior within.
