For Book Lovers
I am told that I have loved to write since I was about three years old. My nickname growing up was "Mabharani," a Shona word that can mean writer, as I would write on any surface as long as I had a writing utensil. I am said to have written on an unsuspecting sleeping aunt. I am thrilled to share my love for writing with you.
