Profile
Something old, something new. Something borrowed, something blue.
That pretty much sums up my work – you’ll see a lot of blue, find a sense of the old, a bit of the new and many things borrowed.
I also design jewelry, and sell it at L’Atelier Talaru
I sell antique jewelry for collectors and jewelry designers at La Comtesse de Talaru
I have a blog, where I write about what I’m up to, inspirations and interesting finds.
By day I am a marketing manager, by night I create. Primarily I am a writer, but I love jewelry design and digital composition.
That’s about it, really.

When All Goes Quiet
To come across a French Patisserie when you have eaten okra and onions for a month is akin to reaching the Holy Grail.
Short Story Competition - The Passenger
On the outside I am unblemished – he demands perfection in everything. He is clever – there are so many ways to beat a person without leaving scars for all to see.
Challenge 11 - Salivation Nation
My tongue laps out to lick and taste. / I place you gently in my mouth.
