Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a Haitian self-taught fashion designer, born in Haiti living in England. I have written 7 children’s books and published my first one ”The Magic Mirror” in Mai 2021
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My last book is called “The Magic Mirror”
Separated from both my parents at a young age and not having any role model to teach me how to self-love, I suffered from depression and anxiety from my early childhood.
I never like to see my reflection in the mirror. Becoming a mother I now decide to teach my daughter to love herself. Publishing “The Magic Mirror” as my first book is also a way for me to make peace with the mirror I hated for so long.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to clean before I start to write.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I enjoy reading memoirs, I am fascinated by how some people turn their life around and overcome traumatic memories.
What are you working on now?
I am now working on my memoir
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use different types of social media like Instagram, YouTube, Facebook…
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Do not overthink, give it a try stay true to yourself as I believe that we all have a different writing style, and all stories deserve to be read.
It was difficult for me to publish my book as English is not my first language but today there is all sorts of help to help us bring our stories to life.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I have been giving in moments of doubt is that there are many stories out there but my one is unique and still missing.
What’s next for you as a writer?
At the moment I am reading “Healing Letters” a memoir written by Aurea Reis
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
I will take my book “The Magic Mirror” “Healing letters” by Aurea Reis and “Le dernier jour d’un condamné” by Victor Hugo
