I had been a closet writer most of my adult life, sharing this creative aspect of myself with very few people over the years. Most often, my works—spontaneous writings, I call them— is often from music; its vibrations, tones and feelings, which can elicit different imagery that contributes to my story or poem ideas. A concept can also come from different artwork, from fantasy to Renaissance or anything in between. Almost anything can spark an idea.
 
But in 2019, I knew I had to share what I had written about the struggle to find peace, to deal with sorrow, to know there is something else beyond what we can see in the physical world. I had to publish my first book… for her… because I knew it could save her life.
