Mum, author and dentist is how I describe myself. I love creating pictures from words. Sometimes a painter, other times a weaver- words are my tool; trying to create something beautiful. When I was nine, my dad introduced me to audio books. I was hooked. With his guidance, I fell into a world where words became life simply by weaving them together. So here I am, living out my passion- reading and writing! Enjoy the ride with me 😁😁

Great, emotional flash. It’s sad when someone is so invisible that nobody notices when they’re gone…

You’ve chosen your descriptive language very carefully. I particularly like your use of ‘carcass’ for the man’s mortal remains; it sums up the way he has been treated as sub-human, bestial.
