I love reading; the smell of books is as intoxicating as my favourite perfume, and for me, writers are magicians. I also love traveling. Show me the way, and I will hit the road.
During the 2020 lockdown, with much time on our hands, I started writing about my travels–I have lived and visited several countries worldwide.
While writing, the story kept building up. In every piece I wrote, I found myself having more to say.
I self-published my first book, Beyond the Threshold... Into Self-discovery in 2021. And that's when I realised I have a passion for writing.
While at it I thought, why not give romance a chance?
Hearts at Love Parallels is my very first romance novel and second book.
My name is Edith. I am a freelance certified TESOL/TEFL teacher of English.
You, my reader, my silent partner, are one of my favourite people. Welcome.

I spent some time in Venezuela right at the beginning of a bad to worse economic period in the country; thus low-to no supplies of simple daily needs like sugar, salt, flour, toilet paper, and stuff. Supermarket shelves were starting to go […]
The Happiest Place…and the City of Three Questions Having previously been, three times, to its almost always over-cast, and chilled capital city, and other cities around the country, I was not surprised when it was named the happiest place in the world in […]
