What Readers Will Experience in Proskynima

Proskynima invites readers on a journey of spiritual growth and inner revelation. The story follows deeply human characters whose internal spiritual battles are strikingly relatable, regardless of background or belief.

At the heart of the story is Athena, a woman of faith unexpectedly drawn into a spiritual realm unseen by mortal eyes. Bound by a bloodline inheritance and an ancient prophecy passed down from her mother, Athena must confront the shadows seeking to claim her. Guided by the true power of Jesus Christ and His living Word, she learns to discern truth from deception.

This is not simply a story of light versus darkness—it is a journey of internal awakening. It explores what happens when the soul is called to rise, fight, surrender, and grow.

Can Athena resist what is evil?
Will she accept the guidance of what is good?
And what will she uncover about the power within her own spirit?

Ideal Reader

Although I am new to writing, I have quickly fallen in love with the craft. I enjoy creating short stories and am currently working on three manuscripts, including Proskynima Two. Writing has become a deeply meaningful creative and spiritual practice for me.

My ideal readers enjoy clean fiction with a spiritual undercurrent, particularly teens and young adults aged 16–40. This is a season of life where inspiration, guidance, and meaningful storytelling are especially impactful. My hope is that my work offers encouragement and enjoyment without hindering the reader’s spiritual walk.

I aim to write characters with strong values, integrity, and hope—stories that uplift and provide a safe, imaginative space to explore faith, purpose, and growth.

About the Author

I strive to live a life grounded in love, peace, joy, kindness, patience, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These values shape how I move through the world and care for those around me.

I find deep peace in nature—especially gardens and long walks—and I’m happiest when exploring, adventuring, or enjoying quiet moments with a good book and a warm cup of tea. Bookstores, libraries, and vintage shops are among my favourite places, and I love filling my home with fresh flowers, candlelight, and the gentle rhythm of early mornings accompanied by birdsong.

Family, friendship, and community are central to my life. I enjoy supporting and encouraging others through volunteering, reading to the elderly, and caring for my family with patience and intention. I value slowing down, being present, and cultivating goodness in everyday moments.

I also prioritise my mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing through healthy living, exercise, writing, prayer, and time in Scripture. Above all, I hope my life reflects gentleness, gratitude, and a sincere desire to bring light and encouragement to others.
