Davina Valdez

Davina is an educationist who lives in South Africa. A widow with five adult children and many grandchildren, she loves reading, cooking, sleepovers with the grandchildren and meandering at least thrice weekly along the hills in her suburb. She was initiated into reading at the age of twelve when she had to read romance novels to her grandmother whose eyesight was failing. Her grandmother and mother were great storytellers and having listened to many true-life stories, she decided to try her hand at creating and writing one of her own. Her story is grounded in witnessing how human nature unfolds in the daily lives of people around her.
