Fiction Writer - Creating Worlds with Words

Biography

Since childhood, I've been bewitched by the magic of storytelling, immersing myself in countless books and weaving my own tales. Today, as a seasoned writer, I bring to life worlds, characters and emotions.
With each word put to paper or screen, I discovered the power of words to transport, to inspire, and to connect. Every story is an adventure waiting to be told and I would love to help you tell it.

Previous experience, degrees, and qualifications

I have previous experience with a multitude of genres and am a self-published author as well as a short story competition winner within the Fiction niche.

Interests and hobbies

I enjoy reading and writing, obviously:) I also enjoy playing video games, spending time with my animals and working on puzzles and arts and crafts.

How I'd describe my personality in two sentences

I would describe my personality as thoughtful and adaptable. I enjoy engaging with a wide range of topics and people, constantly aiming to provide and gain insight.

How I'd describe my approach to my work

I approach my work with positivity and an open mind. Communication and clarity are very important to me.

Why should you choose me for your project

The Perfect Mask for Murder

It was 7 a.m., and Heather sat drumming her fingers on the coffee table, matching the rhythm of the pounding in her head. Last night’s binge had left her with a weak stomach and a throbbing ache. She was still debating whether to have a shot of whiskey to quiet the pounding when her phone rang. The number was unfamiliar, but she answered after the third ring, hoping for a distraction to pull her away from her dreary apartment. “Detective Brown?” an uncertain male voice asked. “Yes. Who’s this?” She stayed seated, waiting for the caller to state their business. “This is Detective Rob Jac...

The Tutorial

“Just one more game and I’ll come to bed. I promise” Abigail whined. “That’s what you said an hour ago and yet here we are…” Jessie shook his head in defeat, ever since they had installed the new virtual reality game system, he could barely get her away from it. “I give up.” Jessie was done begging, he turned on his heel and headed to the bedroom without a second glance. “Hmmph…” Abigail only grunted in response, lost in her own virtual world. She was enjoying the new game system immensely and after the boredom that was lockdown it was a welcome change. Something to keep her occupied a...

The Inkanyamba

He had been watching the woman silently for some time, several weeks to be exact, and each time he found himself more and more drawn to her. He found himself becoming impatient when he came too early or angry that he felt the need to be here to see her arrival. The water around him seemed to become colder so he moved closer, if only to get a better look or to catch a stronger whiff of her scent. She smelled sweet, her pheromones seemed a little intoxicating to him, making his head swim. Maybe today would be the day, maybe today he would find the courage to approach her, to ask her why she...

But Why

Natasha sat at the table, papers strewn before her. Short-staffed at work, she'd been buried for two weeks. Meeting the deadline meant sacrificing the weekend. “Mommy, is lunch ready?” Michelle piped up behind her. A sudden wave of irritation washed over Natasha. “Lunch will be ready when it's ready! Go outside and play. Mommy needs to get this done.” “Why do I have to go outside?” Michelle frowned. At eight, Michelle was growing into her own, her curiosity a natural part of that. She loved knowing answers, loved being called on at school. But she couldn't understand her mother's irrita...

Reflections of Madness

Nolan struggled through the door, his arms wrapped tightly around the antique mirror. “Jason, come help me with this thing!” Jason looked up from his laptop, his face instantly wrinkling with disbelief. “What now?” He sighed, closing the lid and getting up from the couch. “Where did you even find that?” Nolan smirked as Jason walked over. “You wouldn’t believe it—a hole-in-the-wall shop on Fifth Street. The owner seemed desperate to sell it. Practically gave it to me for nothing.” Jason eyed the mirror warily. It was old, no doubt about that. The frame was ornate, with intricate carvings...

Romance Scenes

“You’re late,” I said, crossing my arms as Jake strolled into the room, looking far too casual for someone who kept me waiting. He grinned, that cocky smile that always managed to get under my skin. “Fashionably late, don’t you think? You looked like you could use the time to cool off.” I rolled my eyes. “Don’t flatter yourself. I wasn’t waiting for you.” “Right,” he said, stepping closer, his eyes locked on mine. “Is that why you’ve been checking the door every two minutes?” I shot him a glare. “I wasn’t.” “You were,” he teased, leaning in just enough for me to feel his breath on my n...

Nicci is efficient and talented. She created a detailed outline, incorporating my suggestions and the editor's recommendations. When working with fiction writers, I expect a certain level of enthusiasm for the project, which I think fell slightly short. Otherwise, she did a good job, and I would recommend her.
