A brief introduction to my writing
I’m a short story writer who is not comparable to great storytellers, and I do not anticipate that everyone will appreciate my writing. Nevertheless, I believe my stories offer an authentic perspective numerous reviewers have praised. The tales describe the challenges faced by a few Caribbean expatriates in Europe. The setting is predominantly the 1970s, but the themes remain relevant: alienation, loneliness, romantic relationships, and the struggle for a better life. I hope that more individuals will read and enjoy my stories. However, marketing books to the “right reader” remains one of the challenging tasks for many independent publishers.
