Pieces of myself have always hidden within the development of my lead characters. Hazel eyes, caramel complexion, my classic pixie cut, the balancing act of poise and grit forever buried inside of them, and in my next novel, I use four best friends to candidly expose the matters of my heart. The Yearning of Distant Hearts is a portrait of mistakes and fulfillment. It stands as an homage to three men who managed to linger in both heart and mind…altered me in my twenties.
There lies a consistent promise within the beauty of growth and evolution. The promise to forever change. The promise to endure the makings of life until we fully journey back to who we were always meant to be. It is only after discovering the fortune of self-love that we truly learn to release the things of no purpose; the things we’ve been conditioned to hold on to. As I continue to journey back to my center, I’ve come to realize that establishing Bijou Publications and my writing career in a way that is true and without noise and burnout is fully honoring the promise.
