The small community is located in Central Jamaica in a parish widely known as the “Cockpit Country” due to its hilly terrain and tall mountains. Very early in her life she started reading often using a kerosene lamp she likes to say and has continued since. Her very first books were her mother’s “Mills and Boons” romance novels. She would hide under the bed for hours and read them without her mother’s knowledge. She was known for making up stories and not long after she started writing them.
Growing up in the church it wasn’t unusual for her to woo people with her plays, poetry and songs of inspiration. Her first publication was for her school yearbook in her senior year of high school. She then migrated to Kingston where she started freelancing for various local newspapers and radio stations including “The Gleaner” and “Irie FM”.
Today she lives in a suburban New Jersey town and is studying for her master’s degree. She hopes to be the first female Prime Minister in her homeland and hopes to return there someday.
