I write across multiple genres, including fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. I also wrote a children’s book about my dog, Neela.

Key themes of my books include:

  1. Same but different – relating to others but also expressing a sense of self.
  2. Rules and relationships – how rules and norms impact relationships, why rules are important in the first place, and how rules can become limiting.
  3. Love – love of self, love of others.
