Big news! About a year and a half ago, I had a dream—a dream that whispered to me of a children's book waiting to be written. A peculiar vision, as writing had never been a pursuit on my horizon. Now, in a thrilling turn of events, I am overjoyed to share that my first children's book, "Sir George of the Bamboo Forest," has officially lauched and hit the shelves. This enchanting tale is the first book in the six-part series known as Naratonia Lights.


Children's book "Sir George of the Bamboo Forest" cover. A boy and a girl following a path in a magical bamboo forest.

The journey from dream to reality has been nothing short of magical.


Along this unexpected path, I've had some amazing cheerleaders among family and friends. I also had the privilege of encountering some truly extraordinary individuals who have been my guiding lights. Among them are two remarkable women, my editor and illustrator, who have lent their expertise, shared their life experiences, and held my hand through every step of this creative venture.


As a life and business coach, I often emphasize the importance of active listening. Little did I know that by following my own advice, a whole new world would open up and set me on this extraordinary adventure. Through this experience, my own listening skills have been elevated, teaching me not only to listen actively to others but also to the whispers of my own heart.


I share my journey with the hope of inspiring others to pursue their calling, whether your calling is in writing, art, or any other endeavor. May my story serve as a reminder to heed the whispers of your dreams.


This project has not only been about bringing a story to life but also about personal growth and self-discovery. The journey has been a testament to the power of following one's inner calling.


To those who feel the beckoning of curiosity, I invite you to dive into the pages of "Sir George of the Bamboo Forest" and the upcoming tales in the Naratonia Lights children's book series. May these stories ignite the magic within you and transport you to realms where dreams take flight.


Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this incredible journey.


Cheers to dreams realized and the magic of storytelling!
