Why I Write Urban Crime Thrillers

I am a writer of urban crime thrillers✍🏾
It is a genre that allows me to speak truths most people only catch glimpses of on the news. But for me, it is more than storytelling. It is life experience, reflection, and transformation.

I have been writing since childhood, back when my imagination was wild with fantasy and endless possibilities. I created worlds with dragons, magic, and the freedom to ben Read more of this blog post »
