Author bio

Champagne and cat-loving Mom of 2 boys based in Durban, SA. Lockdown kickstarted my writing journey, and I wrote my very first short story based on a Marian Keyes prompt in Jan 2021. I like to think I have come a fair way since then and am loving where this journey is taking me! Finally doing what I have always wanted to try. I am always surprised and ridiculously excited by each and every like and comment… and I will try to always reciprocate! ♥️🥂
