this need and taking steps to fulfilling it. The<br />

reason where a 16 year old who had forgotten<br />

a simple greeting after two years of living in<br />

the states is comical and sad at the same time.<br />

So, who is this annafè little girl, Wyetta?<br />

Wyetta is a character based on my 8-year old<br />

self or almost any child living in St. Lucia or in<br />

the Caribbean. She is innocent, inquisitive,<br />

bothersome and annafè, and always ready for<br />

an adventure. Although my heroine has had<br />

some major name changes (Antoinette,<br />

Annette, Jolie), I finally stuck to Wyetta.<br />

What made you settle for Wyetta?<br />

The name just sounds troublesome (like when a<br />

parent screams out your name when you’re<br />

trouble). The name is of French origin, and it<br />

means feisty. Lol.<br />

Lol. So one of your books is titled, "Wyetta<br />

Goes to the Sulphur Springs." Tell us about it.<br />

The Sulphur Springs is one of St. Lucia’s many<br />

treasures. I feel that, as citizens of our island or<br />

any land, we must make it our duty to visit our<br />

national treasures to foster a deep connection<br />

with our island home. I want children to read<br />

about it and be proud of the gem in their own<br />

backyard.<br />

The<br />

Sulphur<br />

Springs is<br />

the only<br />

drive-in<br />

volcano in<br />

the world.
