Growing up, I spent countless hours watching Murder, She Wrote with my grandma and read any mystery series I could get my hands on from Cam Janesn to The Boxcar Children.
Fast forward to 2020. I was living alone in a 200-square-foot studio apartment during the pandemic. I was living hours away from my nearest family. Unable to go anywhere, I found a joyful respite in cozy mystery novels, allowing myself to be transported to coffeeshops, bookstores, and other cozy locations I couldn't visit in person. I made friends with the amateur sleuths and quirky cast of characters in the long-running series I was devouring.
As much as I fell in love with the genre, I quickly realized that it -

Always an avid reader, I came to this writing journey later than many.

Her love of writing started when she won a large quantity of chocolate in a Cadbury's writing competition, at the age of 8.
At the age of 20, she fell in love with Anne McCaffrey's "Dragonflight" series, in particular the female heroine, Lessa. Since then, she has burned with an ambition to write a novel with a similar female protagonist - someone who was strong, analytical and did not see the world in black and white. It is from this that Chroma was born, and B Fleetwood completed the trilogy: Imogen's Secret / Imogen's Journey and Imogen's Destiny in 2020.
During lockdown she turned her hand to a new genre - a commercial women's fiction. Upbeat and inspired by her real lif
