  • ”One day you’ll look back, and you’ll see
Where you were held now by this love
While you could stand there
You could move on this moment
Follow this feeling.” - @u2 

This is 47.
A product of God’s grace and steadfastness.
Through the ups and downs, all I remain is grateful.

  • To be completely transparent, it has felt so awkward sharing my book news.
The world is burning down all around us, people are fighting for their lives every single day, children are starving, and there's so much hate, bigotry, and apathy surrounding us.
It truly feels so weird

In moments like these, I remember the parable of the talents and the servant who buried his talents. In addition to raising awareness, we must continue to live.
On behalf of those who can't, we must continue to live in gratitude for the privilege and positions we've been given through grace...
There is no perfect duration to wait.
We can't put our lives completely on hold while we continue to read the room.
I hope you're giving yourself grace too as we all figure out how to keep living and showing up against this surreal background of chaos and inhumanity

As a storyteller, what I can do is continue to tell the human condition in all its complexity as raw and truthfully as I can through both fiction and non-fiction.
I am proud of the books I've worked hard to bring into the world. I am grateful I get to do this, and I am also tremendously humbled to be able to write stories.
In times like these which feel moorless, evil, depressing, and hopeless...
Beyond raising awareness and supporting how we can in our own ways, we must continue to create moments of joy and hope.
We must continue to graciously model love and what it means to live faithfully amid life’s storms.

As announced recently, I’m beyond thrilled for our special #StockholmBookClubTour we’re launching this autumn in collaboration with @xperiencesthlm @afrosvenskarnas_riksorg and @geotravelermedia 💙💛 In preparation for our launch, I’ll be bringing ten (10) UK book influencers for a lovely getaway to my stunning city Stockholm and to be the very first group to experience this incredible book tour that follows in the steps of the characters in all four books! Flights, hotel, transport, and meals included! We are currently securing our flight and lodging partners for this epic weekend! (Other local partners - If you’re also interested in collaborating with us, definitely reach out)! If you’re a UK-based book influencer and you’re interested, please fill out the interest form in our bio link. đŸ™ŒđŸŸ 🌟 #travel #bookclub #bookclubsofinstagram #bookclubtour #sweden #stockholm #sweden #ineverymirrorshesblack #everythingisnotenough #bitterhoneybook #johanbook

”One day you’ll look back, and you’ll see
Where you were held now by this love
While you could stand there
You could move on this moment
Follow this feeling.” - @u2 

This is 47.
A product of God’s grace and steadfastness.
Through the ups and downs, all I remain is grateful.

To be completely transparent, it has felt so awkward sharing my book news.
The world is burning down all around us, people are fighting for their lives every single day, children are starving, and there's so much hate, bigotry, and apathy surrounding us.
It truly feels so weird

In moments like these, I remember the parable of the talents and the servant who buried his talents. In addition to raising awareness, we must continue to live.
On behalf of those who can't, we must continue to live in gratitude for the privilege and positions we've been given through grace...
There is no perfect duration to wait.
We can't put our lives completely on hold while we continue to read the room.
I hope you're giving yourself grace too as we all figure out how to keep living and showing up against this surreal background of chaos and inhumanity

As a storyteller, what I can do is continue to tell the human condition in all its complexity as raw and truthfully as I can through both fiction and non-fiction.
I am proud of the books I've worked hard to bring into the world. I am grateful I get to do this, and I am also tremendously humbled to be able to write stories.
In times like these which feel moorless, evil, depressing, and hopeless...
Beyond raising awareness and supporting how we can in our own ways, we must continue to create moments of joy and hope.
We must continue to graciously model love and what it means to live faithfully amid life’s storms.
