Your second book is titled, "Wyetta's Recess<br />
Adventures." You know at school we all<br />
looked forward to the ringing of the bell<br />
especially when it signaled recess, lunch or<br />
dismissal. Not ashamed to admit it lol. I take it<br />
this annafè little girl Wyetta, felt the same<br />
about recess?<br />
Lol. I attended the Methodist Primary School<br />
and I had some of my most memorable<br />
childhood experiences on the school grounds.<br />
The memories were so grand and vivid that I<br />
just couldn’t help but write about them.<br />
I can hardly wait to find out what these recess<br />
adventures were. Tell us about your next<br />
book. What will it be about?<br />
I plan to publish and release the books in pairs.<br />
So the next pair is, "Wyetta The Carnival<br />
Queen" and "Wyetta Visits Muh Seebo." One<br />
book will look at one of Wyetta’s carnival<br />
experiences, and the other will explore her<br />
encounter with a mysterious character so<br />
typical in St. Lucian culture and folklore, gajé<br />
lady, Muh Seebo.<br />
LOL. Looking forward to reading them<br />
especially Muh Seeboo. There's always a tinge<br />
of apprehension putting ourselves and work<br />
out there, was this the case for you?<br />
I wrote my stories from my vivid memories of<br />
my own childhood experiences growing up in<br />
the '70s. At times, though, I wondered if St.<br />
Lucia had changed so much since I left, that<br />
today’s children would not be able to identify<br />
with those experiences. To my surprise and<br />
excitement, when I did readings of my stories<br />
at various primary schools during Jounen<br />
Kwéyòl 2017, the children were totally<br />
captivated and recognized all the<br />
experiences and story elements immediately.
