My story, “White Petals” is about three women whose lives are intertwined around the 1984 Union Carbide gas tragedy that took place in Bhopal, India. The secrets they keep have devastating consequences and can alter their lives forever.

About the anthology:

From the enchanted hills of Ireland to the bustling cities of India, women wrestle with the secrets they keep and if they are bold enough to expose the truth. Sixteen stories, richly steeped in realistic and fantastical worlds alike, follow characters who navigate hard choices and rewrite their realities. Embark on these unforgettable journeys of hope, repentance, and authenticity. Extraordinary women of all ages—from all ages—bend in their attempt to balance culture with their calling. But will they break?

I’m inspired by women who live with intention. Those who embrace their imperfections, consciously seek joy, practice courage in the face of fear, and are always looking for the light.

This is the way I strive to live my life and these are the women I write about in my stories.
