Neurodivergent: Cognitive functioning which is not considered typical. For example, autistic, dyslexic, and dyspraxic people. Dyslexia affects up to 1 in 5 people and is a genetic difference that impacts the way I learn and process information. This difference emphasizes spatial thinking, or 3D thinking, causing challenges with memorizing facts.
The dyslexic brain interprets letters and numbers as three-dimensional models, making reading and writing difficult. Despite these challenges, dyslexic individuals often excel at creative thinking, problem-solving, and communication, reflecting a unique way of thinking.
As a dyslexic writer, I share my passion and creativity to help others overcome their challenges. Creative thinking is my superpower, enabling me to bring historical characters to life in fresh, engaging ways. I thrive on thinking outside the box, presenting history in a way that resonates with today's readers.
I love interacting with people, sharing stories, and spreading joy through laughter. My goal is to inspire others to embrace their unique paths and the power of creative thinking, regardless of their challenges.

In conjunction with writing, my journey is a path as diverse and creative as the worlds I help bring to life. My career began in the movie industry as a set builder and painter, where I transformed raw materials into captivating visual landscapes. This role allowed me to merge practicality with artistry, crafting intricate sets that transport audiences into different realms. The tactile satisfaction of shaping environments on screen fueled my passion for storytelling.
Parallel to my work in set design, I train dogs and wolves for the Dogue Academy, mastering the art of communication and trust with these incredible animals. This unique expertise not only enriched my life but also added an authentic touch to any project involving animals. Training wolves and dogs taught me patience, intuition, and the importance of a deep connection, lessons that transcend into all areas of my work.
My creative journey also led me to the airwaves, where I hosted a radio show for five years. This platform allowed me to connect with a diverse audience, share stories, and explore a range of topics with authenticity and humour. Simultaneously, I contributed to a French magazine for four years, honing my skills in written expression and cultural commentary.
These varied experiences have culminated in my evolution as a writer. Each chapter of my career has equipped me with unique insights and skills, from visual storytelling and animal training to broadcasting and journalism. Today, I channel these experiences into bringing rich, multifaceted narratives to life.
