An extract from my epic poem - 'The Zemis' - that recounts the myth of the destruction of an entire tribe and their village and the creation of the Pitch Lake, in Trinidad.

I loved your little fox painting so much, I had to recreate it (kinda) in Canva. Thank you for the inspiration! You are absolutely talented!

'The Zemis' was written to be a story told to children around a camp fire at night. Even in the words of the poem, the poet recounts the folktale to them in such a setting.

I decided early on, that the poem needed a design treatment that was equally epic as the story itself. The illustrations are all originals and were painstakingly designed by me.

Much care and thought went into the layout and aesthetics of the book.

Review of 'The Zemis' by the team at Caribbean Authors:
"The book is both a literary and cultural offering, ideal for classrooms, libraries, and lovers of oral tradition."
Guys, I am crying.
Do I want younger generations reading my work as part of their Literature and History curriculum?
Yes.

The US Embassy in Trinidad just posted this and it has everyone confused as to what 'heightened state of alert' means. I want to believe it's to deter any #NoKings protests outside the facility, but with the tensions building with Venezuela and our island caught in the middle, we just don't know..

Here is a closer look at 'The Zemis' book cover design.
Part of self-publishing is being self-sufficient and that means creating your own visuals to accompany your work.
Having creative freedom is a wonderful thing and pushes you to learn new skills to bring your vision to life.

Here is another folklore character in observance of #caribbeanfolkloremonth!
Mama D’leau
Like her husband Papa Bois, Mama D’leau is associated with nature, specifically rivers. Just like La Diablesse, she is deceptively beautiful until exposed as a monster.

Today's featured #folklore character for #caribbeanfolkloremonth is the La Diablesse.
Translated as “female devil,” La Diablesse is a seductress, and a temptress.
La Diablesse appears along lonely paths, visible to men who would digress from their courses to accommodate a pretty face.
