The decision didn’t make me happy. It didn’t grant me fulfilment. It didn’t bestow peace.

I never liked it. I never sought it. I never wanted it. 

It’s been brutally hard. It’s turned everything upside down. And I’ve lost a lot…

So why continue? Why faith? Why Jesus?

Reflecting on the last 10 years, I made two immense migrations.

The first migration in 2010 was a physical one going from living in the over-populated, urban jungle of London to the aesthetically-pleasing Caribbean tropics. Continue Reading →

About Me!

A strong ambition about life, a wholesome desire for family, a great vow undertaken, and powerful disappointment received.... Submission. No more selfish ambition nor vain conceit. A path I NEVER thought I would take; surrender to and through Jesus; not my will but yours be done. Life has not been the same since...




For those enjoying my writing…

As you can imagine, the excessively saturated self-publishing industry isn’t exactly lucrative.

The books I’m writing are not only supposed to be interesting and entertaining for you, they’ve been put on my heart as a mission to be vulnerable and transparent about the harder, painful and sometimes humiliating lessons of life.

It takes approximately 4 – 6 months of full-time investment to write a novel of which there is no salary.

If you enjoyed The Paradise Induction and are eager to aid me in completing the sequel The Paradise Seduction, please donate below.

Every little helps…

The Paradise Seduction will be an episodic adventure, fictionally retelling the true story of my time living in the Caribbean, following the cliff-hanger of The Paradise Induction.
