About the Witch

Bruja, The Girl with Many Names, and Wicked Witch are all the names of a professional and prolific author specialising in First Drafts—a title she embraces wholeheartedly.

Like many before her, her talent was identified by her teachers early on in life. But life has a way of getting in the way of dreams.

Despite her love for storytelling, the demands of life—school, university, studies, and work—threatened to eclipse her dreams. Until one day, she made up her mind. “I’ve got nothing to lose,” she said. “I’ll allow myself to live my dream. If I do it, fantastic. If it doesn’t happen, well, at least I can say I’ve done something; I’ve tried. That way, the guilt of not doing anything for my dream won’t follow me to my grave.”

Morbid, but effective.

She shares some of her shorter fiction here on this website while revising and editing some of her older novels to get them ready for publication.

If she’s not smashing away at her keyboard or having an internal dialogue with her characters, she’s bound to be in a cosy corner with a book, a blanket, and some tea, fighting reality with an unhealthy dose of fiction.
