Over the last ten years, I’ve been secretly writing fiction. Some have been published across platforms, and some have received attention, but they were never finished. They were left hanging there without clear endings. Many of them were deleted online, forgotten.
I have saved more than a handful of drafts and book ideas that never got the chance to shine as they should.
Because I never gave them a chance.
Over the years, I finished a few manuscripts but never took this writing path seriously until 2021, when my cousin, only 28 years old, died from COVID-19. Her sudden death was a decision that changed the shape of my future.
To this day, continuously mourning for her young, ultra-sudden death and the shock it caused me have been fueling my drive to gather enough courage and overcome my demons to finally reveal myself for who I truly am deep within and show the world what I’ve got.
Because I don’t want to leave Earth without leaving some kind of legacy.
Deep down in my heart, I know the world needs my words. My Truth.
And this decision has led me here: becoming a self-published author.

Kryzsa Nicole Lopez, LPT
What I like about your books is the cover & the poignant amount of attention you present in your characters to make them diverse & different from all the stories I have read on Wattpad. Although, I do sometimes recognize the use cliches. But otherwise, I really enjoy your books!
Awesome-Jeanz, Wattpad Reader
Your characters grow and progress, as well as easy to read and [sic] believable. Why I like reading your books is what makes them different from the rest. There aren’t many authors I go out of my way to read, though I will admit I can read almost anything to a point.

Vikram Brahma, Author
What happens when two souls, both struggling in their own right, cross paths? ‘My Name is Pepper’ gives us Leslie and Alexander—two individuals who, at first glance, couldn’t be more different. Leslie, weighed down by her past, is stuck in a cycle of regrets, while Alexander finds himself suffocated by the pressure of his responsibilities. They meet when they’re both at their breaking point, but fate, as it often does, has something else in mind.
As I dove into this story, I found myself immediately connecting with Leslie and Alexander’s desperation. Both of them feel trapped, longing for something more—something real. What I loved was how raw and human they felt. Their pain is palpable, and the growth they experience together is nothing short of inspiring. It’s not just about romance; it’s about rediscovering hope, even when you’ve almost given up on yourself.
But here’s the twist: just when you think they’re finally finding their way, life throws more challenges at them. And as you turn the pages, you’re constantly wondering—can they survive this? Will they be able to build a future together, or is their connection destined to fade away like so many other fleeting moments in life?
The beauty of this book lies in its emotional depth. It doesn’t sugarcoat the difficulties of relationships or our baggage. The story forces you to confront those uncertainties we often try to ignore. And while it keeps you questioning if Leslie and Alexander can make it work, it also leaves you rooting for them, hoping against hope that they’ll beat the odds.
