Dreaming Beyond Olokun
About the Author
I’ve been writing since I was about twelve years old, it began as a way to cope with bullying and trouble at home growing up. Writing has always been an escape from reality for me. I’ve often had difficulties with people, so having a deep emotional connection to my characters has been a coping strategy. Being an empathic author who doesn’t connect with many people in everyday life, I find I rarely kill off characters in my stories because of my emotional connection to them. Writing is the only thing I’ve ever felt I’m good at and I know I’m always with family when I’m heavily indulged in a story.
Aside from losing myself in books, I’m an artist. I do acrylic paintings as well as other fun and crafty things. My additional secret hobbies consist of gaming and just adoring the natural world. I was born on Earth Day and have always been a major advocate for the protection of nature and wildlife. I also studied anthropology, globalization, and web development in college. Learning is enjoyable for me and there’s always something new to discover!
