Spirit Warriors contains.... It's a story that's been cathartic in many ways, from navigating grief to discovering pieces of myself that I may never have learned had I not been researching for the book. Hoping readers will find it special too. waterstones.com/book/spirit-wa…

It's #windrushday2025 and Spirit Warriors is dedicated to each of my grandparents, because it's their book too, in more ways than one. I may have dreamed of becoming a published author, but only because they were the first to dream big.
