Hello. I’m Ninagracia. I love writing and look forward to sharing it with everyone. It was a childhood dream, and I am still chasing it. I often indulge in daydreaming while sipping too much coffee. Who doesn’t? I feel better when I escape into my fantasy world, becoming the person I aspire to be and being in places I have never been before. It might sound crazy, but that’s where I find my deep longing for something more. Usually, these thoughts are tucked away in the corner of my mind.
I wrote my first poem at fifteen, which I entered into our school competition. It came second and was later published. Seeing my name in print was hard to describe, and this is what inspired me to keep writing. After years of studying and working simultaneously, I’ve journeyed through numbers and stories with a bachelor’s degree in Accounting and Creative Writing. While numbers help keep life in balance, stories add meaning to it.
I wrote my first romance novel in 2008, but was pretty embarrassed to tell anybody about it. I thought it wasn’t good enough, so I kept it away. I love a good romance story, but I also love action-packed mysteries. They keep me on the edge of my seat.
My first published book, Gracie Shhh!, is about a young girl with a big imagination. Gracie discovers that the most wonderful things sometimes happen when we slow down, listen closely, and let our hearts guide us. It’s a story full of curiosity, kindness, and just a sprinkle of fun and naughtiness.
I love creating stories that linger — tales that my readers will want to return to repeatedly, and dream long after the last page is turned. When I’m not writing, I do random things. My face would be on the pages of books, or surfing the net, or I could be in front of the television glued to watching the Law and Order, FBI, or NCIS series. Depending on my mood, I could catch Michael Bublé on YouTube to listen to his songs, which would be a pleasant way to unwind. I am interested in many things that fit my curiosity, but writing always sparks my interest. As long as nobody asks me to sing, I’m happy with that!
