Biography
I’ve been drawn to writing for as long as I can remember, something that allows free flow of feelings and thoughts grounding me in the real world while exploring all that could be. Walking into a library always brought on a sense of wonder and excitement, so much to discover so much to learn, these feelings have in a sense guided me to keep writing and create worlds of my own.

With so little said on a topic as broad as can be, my dog, playing music and fading into the afternoon sun in the bush are things that help me stay alive.

Likening it to a discussion on one of J.M Coetzee’s works in the manner in how machinery, such as the printing press, can cause harm both physically and culturally. This potential harm that can be introduced may be seen as the Othering of native South Africans when folklore is collected and is sent through the printing press as a machine that introduces elements such as...
