My inspiration to write is rooted in my love for reading various fiction and non-fiction works. Writing has become my pursuit.
Words tell stories. They convey meanings, create visual images, and affect the senses. Reading facilitates discovery, enhances understanding, and results in interpretation. I can now write about my discoveries.
In 2009 I created a blog where I post reviews of the varied and interesting books I am reading. Sometimes I post commentaries from other reviewers with my comments at the end of the post. The travel section describes my travel adventures. This blog has become my archive.
Composing book reviews taught me the craft of writing fiction. After years of researching, writing, and rewriting, the celebratory outcome is Beneath the African Sun, a work of fiction. I continue to pursue writing. here to edit.
