Jigsaw follows a young girl growing up in a dysfunctional home who, at 17, is married off to an abusive man and is unable to gain help to escape the situation. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

The inspiration was to assist others so that they also can heal in many ways, be journaling or writing about the journey in this world and the opportunities we have to grow and heal ourselves. 

This is a deeply emotional story told with sensitivity and awareness of the topics covered. Was there anything from your own life that you put into the characters in your novel?

It was mainly about me, my publisher knew I had a story, and it was emotionally complex, so advised me to write it as 3rd party.

This story talks about childhood trauma and the lasting effects it has on women and the struggle they face to escape their situations and build a life for themselves. What is one thing that people point out after reading your book that surprises you?

You Learn so much about their private lives; what I know for sure is deep trauma may not leave marks on our bodies but in the heart and mind.

What is the next novel that you are working on, and when will that be available?

I am writing Tapestry book two (2) of the trilogy the storyteller; this was inspired by my female descendants, as they come together from the 16th century to the 22nd century. To tell me their stories, very paranormal and poignant to Jigsaw.
