Busy Corner Books is more than a literary consultancy.
It is a place shaped by faith, restoration, and the quiet courage that grows when life unravels — and God rebuilds it in His way.
🌱 

This space was born from a season where everything familiar fell away.

A season of pain, loss, stripping back, and learning to walk in life was very different.
A season where the world as I knew it was taken from me — and yet in the stillness that followed, the voice of Father God grew clearer than ever before.
 
And strangely, beautifully… that’s where everything began.


A Journey Through Suffering and Renewal


A little over two years ago, after the accident, I was told my life would never be the same again.

They were right — but not in the way the medics suggested.

The suffering was real:

the physical pain,

the limits,

the loneliness,

the quiet grief - the letting go of people God removed from my life.

Yet in that emptiness, I found something I never knew so deeply before: the presence and tenderness of Father God.


When everything was removed, a stillness, a place of spiritual listening and discernment began to unfold.


Not perfection — but clarity.

Not certainty — but trust.

Not ease — but intimacy.


I learned to lean on God and began to quench a deep spiritual thirst.... 

Relying on His strength rather than my own.

Letting Him guide my steps, especially when nothing made sense.

This is the soil from which Busy Corner Books evolved.

A Ministry of Words,
Healing and Community

As God rebuilt my life, He also rekindled the gifts He had planted long ago:


🌱 writing

🌱 guiding others

🌱 understanding emotional landscapes

🌱 holding spiritual space

🌱 facilitating/teaching

🌱 and gathering people in His name


🌳Busy Corner Books now stands on these foundations🌳


Here, writing is not just a craft — it is a place of healing and discernment.

A place where faith and creativity meet.

A place where people come to explore their stories, understand their pain, and discover their own courage.


Whether through the Writing Well Course,

the Arclight™ Spiritual Formation Journey, the Courageous Writing Award, or CPD (Continuing Professional Development) training — the heart remains the same:


to bring people together, shine light into hidden places, and use writing as a form of gentle transformation.



Held by God, Serving Others

My accident changed my body, my pace, my life — but it deepened the calling.

🌱

Now I study ministry, write more books, and walk alongside others because I know how it feels to start again from nothing.

To be gently rebuilt.

To find God in the quietest,
most painful places.

🌱

I don't lead from a platform — I facilitate through a deep relationship with Father God; sharing faith, compassion and light.


If you feel drawn here,
there is a reason.

You are welcome.
You are safe.
You are not alone.
Busy Corner Books is simply a gentle corner where faith, words, and healing come together —
and where your story can unfold with honesty and hope.
