Before I started my blog and wrote my first book, I was teetering on the brink of an abyss. The abyss of creative depression, to be exact. The rigidity of a law degree and the subsequent tedious legal jobs, coupled with the frustrations of an attempted acting career within the fickle film and television industry had left me creatively bereft. My mind had been dulled. I had lost my focus and my vaulting ambition.

I had always been a voracious reader and writer, but three years of legal eagle terminology, had well and truly murdered my love of the written word. I had seen examples of blogs by friends of friends and wondered where on earth they were getting the inspiration (and website knowledge) to create such work. My de-motivation continued until one day, after starting a new job in the finance sector, which re-instilled my sense of self-worth and purpose, something just clicked.

Months spent planning (or rather, being subjected to other people’s plans) for my big fat Greek wedding, had left me with more than a few frustrating yet hilarious tales and I just had to get them off my chest. I did a bit of research, signed up with WordPress, and then blindly started building the world that I would retreat to in moments of literary madness. It took a while to get the hang of things, but before I knew it, a book was also forming from the little snippets I had published on my blog.

At the same time, I founded THE GREEK WIVES CLUB, a facebook group that promotes Hellenism and female-driven Greek brands.

Several blog posts and books later, my blog has now become a platform for my literary, educational and entrepreneurial endeavours, as well as a resource for other writers looking for inspiration or practical content to help them on their own literary journeys.
