“It’s difficult to classify myself solely as a writer of romance, when in fact writing about women’s lives, and the complexities that has gone into making her that woman, entails a great deal more than romance.”
Next Book Out September 24th 2020

Runner up in the Saga Literary Prize
Swimming with Fishes
Book launch of My Rice Is Best.
@theselinabrown put on a book launch like no other.
The reggae music filled Waterstones Book Shop on Tottenham Court Road
The author signed copies of her book - and the funniest moment was the shout-off: Jollof vs Rice and peas.
As a Yardie, I screamed rice and peas - and no one can tell me we didn’t win 👍🏽😂👍🏽
It’s your turn to shine, @theselinabrown - look forward to seeing you on the panel of Women Who Writes at @hfwritersfest in July.

BOOK LAUNCH 📖
Attended the book launch of Possibility, @sareetadomingoauthor latest book-baby and as expected, I was emerged in a sea of creativity . . . warmth, friendly banter, & lots of laughter - great to see my fellow authors @stellaonithewriter @iamlisabent . . . My awesome editor @mags_ab & every woman shining like a queen ❤️
Great gift ideas of the aromatherapy oil in that cute bottle - hoping it’s going to help me sleep, it smells divine.
And those little pastries filled with feta cheese & pistachios were delicious 🤤 lost count of how many went past my lips 🤣 along with the red wine 😉 it’s a plus that I’m working from home tomorrow 😀
It’s a great time to be a writer ✍🏽

A GREAT time to be a WRITER!
The second Friday in every month, a few writers from @jackeeholderinspires online Tuesday morning journaling workshop meet face-to-face in Leicester Square to bond, banter & socialise. The conversations: loss, grief, spirituality, life, family, children, writing festivals, interrupted by laughter & shared knowledge of the language within water. If you know, you know 😉
Writing is such a solitary activity, that every opportunity I get to vibe with writers, I grab it with both hands.
The spring 🌞 sunshine was showing off in London today, and as I made my journey to & from Leicester Square, I was met with smiles from strange & friendly faces - you see what a little sun can do 😀
I was in warm, creative & inviting company, with so much in common @bybreensamuels @janebanksiam and more who I didn’t get their insta-handles.

Bush Theatre . . . @wilde_foundation @hfwritersfest is happening here!
After hosting my Saturday morning online weekly creative writing workshop for women, (JustWrite) I headed out in the spring sunshine, which bathed London and had me feeling grateful, inspired & happy as I walked towards Westfield Shopping Centre.
On the way, I popped into the Bush Theatre where WILDE H&F Writers’ Festival will be taking place on the 19th July.
Ironically our first festival took place here in 2021. It’s a warm, creative space, which served as one of my favourite place to write my first novel.
Anyone who has experienced the creative & thriving vibe of the Bush Theatre knows what I’m talking about.

It pays to follow your dreams.
The Advanced Macbeth Writing Tribe.
As I approach the finishing line of completing my first non-fiction book, Writing to Exhale, a book filled with advice to budding & emerging writers, I really have my students, my tribe of writers from Macbeth, JustWrite & the Irish Cultural Centre to thank, because they given me materials and many food for thoughts that has inspired my writing journey.
They always step up to the page with any writing prompt I give them, even when I try to make the prompts challenging .
This week I invited them to revisit a past piece of work that resonated with them, which made them proud and bring it into class to share with their tribe . . .
This made me see how far they have progressed and I’m really pushing for an anthology to showcase their achievements. They also enjoyed each other’s works and showed appreciation.
Well done tribe, I’m truly impressed with your achievements.
@moesullivan.ms @tinatalkstooloud @gentlejoan @mud.and.stars - just to name a few.

The good life . . .
I teach two classes of emerging writers at the Macbeth Adult Education Centre.
The morning class are on their beginners journey and this week they stepped up to the page with an introduction to writing memoirs.
One of my students bought a copy of my first novel, Swimming With Fishes for me to sign it. It was an honour to take a picture with her.
The advance afternoon class stepped up to the page by tackling ‘Show’ & ‘Tell.’ And they all did a fantastic job with writing about emotions, settings & characters. I couldn’t be a more proud tutor.

Author questions, author signing at the Windrush Front Room event.
I met Wolter Dammers, who apparently has lived a life loving two women, like my character, Ben in my novel Swimming With Fishes 😂😂😂
@wolterdammers has so many stories to tell, to share - he was very entertaining.
