I am a Black Canadian author with international roots, Jamaican, Spanish, and British. 'Prey of Angels', 'In the Shadow’, and ‘Burdened Legacy’ are my first three published novels. My readers know that I am committed to bringing BIPOC characters into my stories in genuine and non-compromising ways, which for me, means inclusively, equally, and realistically.
I am also a social worker by profession and occupied senior leadership roles for many years before I left the field to write full-time - a decision I have never regretted but which still informs much of what I write. My past experiences, and all that I am, have significantly influenced my stories, which I hope to share more of with you in the coming months and years.

Back and Ready to Roll

The last year and a half has been the most difficult of my life and required that I pull away from writing for a while. Things are, thankfully, normalizing once again and I am finally able to resume writing. Honestly, there is some ambivalence and trepidation where previously passion and ambition ruled.

Burdened Legacy by Silvia M. Wynter
"The main storyline was very compelling, and it was understandable why people took the actions they did.

I didn't figure out everything until the end, but that could have been because it was difficult to keep the "criminal element" straight in the book" Read more of this review »
