Táto autorka objavila svoju vášeň pre písanie už v útlom veku a vytvárala príbehy s neuveriteľným zápalom. Jej rané pokusy, hoci inšpirované obľúbenými dielami, odrážali bujnú fantáziu a skoré záujmy o žánre ako sci-fi a detektívka. Po rokoch experimentovania a odkladaní písania sa ponorila do sveta literárnej tvorby s novým odhodlaním, ktoré ju doviedlo k rozvoju svojských detektívnych príbehov. Jej súčasná práca pokračuje v napínavom rozprávaní a sľubuje ďalšie dobrodružstvá pre svojich čitateľov.
