‎Ink. Quill. Me.

‎I'm a bit of a magpie; my process isn't linear. I pin down every urgent idea that lands. Narratives that refuse to wait their turn. ‎Evidence of this creative restlessness? A nursery of tales I cannot risk forgetting.

I move restlessly between them, nurturing each one into full bloom. ‎So, consider each 'incomplete' status not as incomplete, but as teasing glimpses into shrubs being meticulously grown. All growing simultaneously under these skies!

‎The root connecting all my works, however, is love. Whether sacrificial, familial, or romantic, love is at the core of all I write; it's what pricks you when you touch!

‎The Current Library of Urgency

‎ * Taled Wrongly: This subversive fairy doesn't play by the rules; it'll make all your predictions weep! However, it gives the "villain" a voice, a soul, and her day in court!

‎ * Where Oleanders Grow: Say hello to strategic edge! You should get excited about this one if you play chess!

‎ * A Tale of Forever: Crafted to make you laugh and cry. You'll need a box of tissues for this one!

‎ * Two Floors Down: This delicious, witty, edge-of-the-seat, book-club-worthy romance tension is built entirely around the delightful, fundamental will-they, won't-they, question. Ready for a commitment? Because this one will have you moving in!

‎ * La Gioconda: A profound project of history expertly blended with just enough fact and fiction, it'll prick you all over! A must-read if you love to 'sip' and paint!

‎ * Once Upon a Taj Mahal: Delectably heart-warming. Trust me, your cute little heart isn't ready for this one.

‎ * Beneath these Skies, short Stories by A.Y. West: These tiny, one-page vignettes assault me in quiet moments, bartering immediate emotional impact in exchange. Enjoy if you're the start-and-end-on-the-same-page kind of reader!
