I was born in the Bay Area, but I now call New Orleans my home. Throughout my journey, I pursued education, held a few jobs, and picked up some valuable lessons. However, writing has always been a constant for me. Though I never formally studied it, what started as a mere hobby evolved into a true passion. To date, I've penned a dozen books, and in 2019, my debut novel, "My Lovely Wife," was set for publication. Although it's not the first book I wrote, it's the first one worthy of submission—the others, trust me, aren't great.

As a child, my mom would take me to the library every two weeks, where I'd escape into a bundle of fresh stories and fictional worlds. I loved getting so engrossed in a book that I couldn't tear myself away. It followed me everywhere—around the house, into the kitchen, even to the bathroom. I was so engrossed that I'd often walk into walls or trip over things because I wasn't paying attention.

That's what drives my writing—I aim to craft stories so captivating that they'll have readers walking into walls, just like I used to as a kid.
