Novelist

For me, writing is a need, not merely a desire. The process is an ecstasy and an agony,  yet I'm called to it despite some very long days of suffering for a page, a paragraph, a sentence. But when it flows, it's like flying.

I'm attracted to the darker stirrings within us. What lurks in our shadows? What twists our pain? What steers us into darkness and what saves us?

I love literary fiction and the first-person retrospective. There is nothing more satisfying than journeying deep inside characters and experiencing their longings, their sorrows and their transformations.

I've always been able to observe the world and its occupants in relative obscurity. It's a form of meditation for me. I'm utterly fascinated by every aspect of nature, especially human nature.
