Ever since discovering Roald Dahl, I wanted to be an author who would delight and move her readers through her stories. I also wrote my debut novel, "Of Demons and Deception" on Amazon.

Echo of a Nightmare. Top Story - August 2025.
Gabrielle found herself in a dimly lit hallway, where the floorboards screeched underneath her feet and the people in the pictures that hung on the wall glared at her maliciously. She had a vague recollection of why she was here and how she got here, but her end goal was fuzzy to her. Gabrielle gulped as she kept on walking down the hallway, towards an end she could not see.

Della Brought This Upon Herself
Della stared into the mirror, looking for any mishaps, like a lock of hair sticking out unattractively or a part of her dress bunched up against her stomach. But after seemingly minutes of meticulously searching, Della could only see that her French ponytail was perfect. Her dress wasn’t bunched up at all and fit her body perfectly. She only had mascara on, and it accentuated her eyes wonderfully. She looked great and fit for a ball.

The Voice on the Commute. Top Story - June 2025.

Julie Clary, Imperial Princess
Julie looked at the mirror with horror that grew with every second. She was in a beautiful white dress, embroidered with silver and gold, with a low neckline and a high waist. Julie wore earrings that matched and to complete the ensemble, there was a gold coronet on top of her dark hair. As her maids told her, she was beautiful and looked like the princess she was.
