Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
It’s my debut poetry collection about appreciating the small pleasures and noticing the subtleties in our daily lives. It serves as a reminder to use poetry to uplift our souls and heal our minds, discover everyday inspiration, and let our light shine bright to inspire and empower others to do the same.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Feed me a poem is the title of my book and Nature’s colours and sounds, the smell and taste of your food, the history of the countries and places you’ve visited, the stories of your friends and people you’ve met, the buildings you see while strolling, and the pets you caress is my daily source of inspiration!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really. I usually write when I have spare time and daydream about travel, people I’ve met, and memories of odours or vivid pictures that occur to me at the moment.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Every author has something unique to offer and will magnificently inspire you.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on a project that will incorporate both art and poetry.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I started promoting my book via my personal social media profiles.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice is to trust in themselves and their skill, and if they want to publish a book, they should do it anyway!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Life is precious, and one should live in the present moment, enjoying every little pleasure of life.

I’m reading Poesie by Cesare Pavese
What’s next for you as a writer?
To be able to use my poetry to make art and to inspire others.
