Hey there, I'm Tess, a feisty writer who believes in the magic of storytelling.
Over 28 years ago, my world and that of my precious son were shaken by the tempestuous storm of divorce, leaving a lasting impact. As he continues to navigate the twists and turns of that car crash divorce, life has thrown unexpected curveballs my way. Nursing my beloved parents through their final months left an indelible mark on my soul, and surviving a long-term coma caused by COVID added yet another chapter to my story of resilience.
Refusing to let these trials define me, I dove into helping separating and divorcing couples navigate the delicate terrain of conflict-free co-parenting. Armed with a pen as my sword, boundless resilience as my shield, and a sprinkle of humor as my secret weapon, I embarked on a mission to empower children through my books.
While my formal literary education extends back to my 'O' level English literature days, I have honed my writing skills through countless training manuals, courses, and legal briefs. Drawing inspiration from my experiences living in Thailand, California, and the UK, I embrace diverse cultures and perspectives.
In addition to my writing, I find joy in the companionship of my two wonderful furbabies, Cloud and Rain, and indulge in creative pursuits like jewelry making, resin work, card making, and sewing.
I am drawn to this genre because it allows me to explore the depths of human emotions, unravel complex family dynamics, and offer guidance to those in need. Through my heartfelt stories, I aim to foster resilience, empathy, and understanding across generations.
With a dedicated focus on divorce and separation, my book series delves into the sensitive situations, worries, and concerns that children may face during this challenging time. Each book in the series provides comfort, guidance, and understanding, addressing different aspects of the divorce journey.
By presenting relatable characters and captivating storytelling, I tackle the unique challenges children encounter when their parents go through divorce or separation. Through my books, I create a safe space for children to express their emotions, process their thoughts, and find solace in knowing they are not alone.
Covering topics such as the initial announcement of separation, adapting to new routines, navigating co-parenting dynamics, and managing mixed emotions, my series provides a comprehensive resource for children experiencing the transformative impact of divorce.
With empathy and compassion, I empower children to understand and communicate their feelings, cultivate resilience, and navigate the complexities of changing family dynamics. My books serve as valuable tools for parents, educators, and therapists, facilitating open conversations and promoting emotional well-being.
Addressing the specific concerns and worries children may have, my book series offers comfort, guidance, and a sense of connection. I hope these stories help children navigate their own journeys with understanding, resilience, and a brighter outlook for the future.
Let's embark on this exploration of divorce and separation through the eyes of young readers, fostering empathy, understanding, and emotional growth one story at a time. Together, we can create a world where children thrive, parents find solace, and love triumphs over all.
Join me as we journey through the pages of my books, where we'll explore emotions, share laughter, and discover the wonders of co-parenting in harmony. Together, we'll make a difference in the lives of children and families worldwide because the best stories are the ones that make us laugh, cry, and feel a little less alone on this wild journey called life.
Love and light,
Tess
