Summary

I have a deep passion for creating written art, including both prose and poetry. For the past three years, I have been working part-time on my debut novel, Coloured Hands, which explores the impact of war on families and the resulting intergenerational trauma. I conduct meticulous research to ensure historical and cultural authenticity. Professionally, I work as an accountant and am now looking to transition to writing full-time.
