I’m as happy as a puppy who has just woken up from a nap and is ready for more cuddles to announce that I have finally decided to self-publish my book! I’ve wanted to publish my writing for a long time, but excuses upon excuses let fear win for years. But then two months ago the lockdown came – and with it the need to find a creative project to work on.

The result is Mindscapes, a collection of short stories, journal entries and introspective fiction written over the years and edited over the last few weeks. Together they make up a series of experimental fiction that may be more relatable than expected, and I’m so, so proud and excited to share the result with you!

Some pieces were written years ago, others are more recent. I’ve mixed them together for they are all me in the end. My stories aren’t always linear and may not always make perfect sense to the reader. Sometimes I just want to capture a feeling on paper. Other times I try to create new worlds from scratch and shape a character or two.

I experiment with different styles to find my voice – and to let it say all sorts of things, because we contain multitudes, don’t we?

I can’t wait for you to meet my journal of things I’ve loved and moments I’ve lived – some real, most fictionalised. They’re all here, in this album of mindscapes I’ve travelled through. Grab a copy and let me know what you think! ☕️
