In my early years, I was considered somewhat of a nerd. Not very popular in school, reading and playing with dolls became my outlet. Pretending and creating stories with my dolls were my favorite past times. Luckily, I had a friend who indulged in this hobby along with me. This vivid imagination and creativity continued all through Elementary School-always the long-winded child with an opinion on everything. Later, formulating thoughts in the form of journaling came quite naturally for me. Before long, I'd already written a compilation of inspirational poems and meditations. Being an avid writer carried me through my college years. Taking an assortment of courses, from Mass Media, Psychology to Anthropology, empowered me to be able to better communicate and express ideas.
Transferring to Brooklyn College in the early 90's, changed my life. There, I majored in English and Secondary Education. In the interim, as a pastor's daughter, I was heavily involved in church. Our church and its affiliates produced several youth and cultural magazines, for which I wrote and co-edited. My first teaching experience was at daycare in Queens. Writing has always been a hobby, but my career was teaching. I both excelled in and had a great love of the field. Nothing is more fulfilling than impacting lives.
Everly Thorpe is fired from her television talk show, her father dies, her fiancé decides to end their relationship, and she succumbs to a psychotic break where she suffers from depression and anxiety. Adding insult to injury, she crashes her car on her way back from a failed attempt at reconciliation with her ex-fiancé. Everly sustains a number of injuries. However, her physical injuries aren't the problem. Once at the hospital, she is detained for a psychological evaluation. Hitting rock bottom, she is admitted to the psych unit. Can things get any worse? At the height of her despair, sunlight peaks through the thick overcast skies. It is on that awful hospital unit that she meets two of the most wonderful men. Both are willing to do whatever it takes to win her heart.
Given such a difficult decision, Everly must choose between the two. Of Depression and Witches is special in that it takes a unique look into what it means to be a person of faith, and targeted by the enemy. The narrative isn't only a Christian person targeted by the enemy, but also persecuted by supposed friends and loved ones. In this society, how the spiritual realm affects the tangible is a social taboo. So, detailing a story where witchcraft is employed as a means to create conflict in the life of a person of faith is seldom depicted.
