Upcoming Works

This writing project will focus on translating my debut historical fiction book, Children of the Ocean God, into spanish, as “Hijos de Dios del Mar” (HDDDM). I am thrilled to enter into Spanish language literary world with Hijos de Dios del Mar. The intention is to publish HDDDM in late 2026. So this translation journey will definitely be a lesson in patience. I appreciate fully that to achieve the quality level to which I aspire it will require many long hours milling over minute details and subtleties. Yet there is one thing that I am certain about – it will be worth it. As the saying goes, excelllence is not an act but a habit! Stay tuned for more updates on HDDDM soon! 

Building upon my experience writing my debut historical fiction novel, Children of the Ocean God, I embark on another ambitious and exciting book project. My goal this time is to write a historical fiction novel about the legendary indingenous Kalinago (i.e. Carib) chief, named Indian Warner (also known as Carib Warner nee Thomas Warner). Born in 1630 on the island of St. Kitts, to a Kalinago mother from Dominica and an English father, Sir Thomas Warner, Governor of the island of St. Kitts. He was raised and educated in French and English in his father’s household until the age of about thirteen, when his father died. Thereafter, he fled St. Kitts to Dominica, where he settled amongst his mother’s people, and became their chief. From then on, he dedicated himself to preserving Dominica as an inviolable Kalinago homeland, by working tirelessly to unite his people and resist European colonization of the island.  

Tragically, Indian Warner was murdered in 1674 by his half-brother, Philip Warner, who was at the time Governor of Antigua. Warner’s Bacchanal is a compelling yet tragic tale of betrayal, highlighting the extraordinary armed resistance of ideigeneous peoples of the Caribbean against European colonial hegemony. Drawing extensively on the historocal record, this book will transport readers to the mid-17th century, at the dawn of British and French expansionism into the Caribbean region.

For me, this is much more than just a writing project it is my calling.
Warner’s Bacchanal is a book rooted in my desire to raise awareness about the richness of Caribbean history and uncover the untold stories of resistance that shaped the region.
