Just an ordinary lady who recently discovered the joy of writing. I write stories that I would want to read. Thnx to all those who read my stories and to those who comment on them.
I surprised even myself in Aug 2018 by self-publishing my first book titled From Broken Heart to True Love, available on both amazon and barnes and noble websites. It is an international romance story.
