Über den Autor

I've always loved writing, and telling stories. Whether that was writing letters to my friends and family when I was at boarding school as a child, or writing emails that eventually turned into blog posts about our move to London. I've also always liked people, and am fascinated by how different and similar we all are and how we all have a unique view of the world around us.My friends and family will tell you that I can't help but notice random things about everything that goes on all around me, and I have an obsessive need to talk - or write - about it. My debut novel, Sweet Charity, which I published in January 2022, became a composite of so much of that; many notebooks' worth of random observations over many years.If you've read my book - thank you so much for taking a chance on me, a new author! And thank you also to those of you who've left reviews, I really appreciate them. I plan to start working on my next novel this year.A bit about me: I was born in Zimbabwe, to South African parents, and grew up in both Zambia and Zimbabwe. After finishing high school in Bulawayo, I studied at the University of Cape Town. I now live in London with my husband, and we travel back to Cape Town whenever we can. It was our home for many years, and where our two sons grew up. London is fun and exciting, and southern Africa forever holds a special place in my heart.
