Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was born in Harare, Zimbabwe, in 2000. I have always had a passion for writing since my early school years. Writing essays was my favorite hobby. In both primary and high school I won accolades for best essay writing. So far I have only written one book, my debut fantasy novel STRUGGLE FOR SUPREMACY: Volume 1, which is the first in a series.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest and first book is STRUGGLE FOR SUPREMACY: Volume 1. The idea came as an epic love story – the love between a princess, and a commoner. I originally thought of the story as a standalone book. This progressed with time into an epic fantasy and historical romance series. This book was mainly inspired by the first love of my life, a girl who came from a prominent backgroumd, and fell in love with a boy from a lower-middle class family.
