: About Me

My childhood ambition was to be a writer. And a vet and an archaeologist and a lawyer. But out of all those childhood ambitions, only writing remains. From writing articles for my primary school newspaper to recently completing my Honours thesis on nineteenth-century women's health, writing has always been a constant passion.

My other passions include working for God, reading, spending time with friends and family, history, listening to good music, trying out new recipes and the occasional shopping trip.

Living for God, family and friends, history and writing poetry, stories, historical essays, devotionals, song lyrics, blogs...you name it.

My parents always told me ...

If I didn't stand for something, I'd fall for everything.

My childhood ambition ...

Believe it or not- it really was to be a writer.
