About Mpho Lucy M

Who Am I?

I started writing when I was in primary school, enjoying the creation of new people, new worlds, new ... everything really. Being able to come up with an idea and bringing it to life, with relatable characters and situations was something I loved, and still enjoy, doing.

My first published story was titled "Destructive Legacy", a book I wrote right after high school, but which was published when I was in my second year of varsity.

Since then I have written a number of stories, all of which sat in my floppy discs or hard drives (is my age showing? :D ) until I decided to self publish. The books on this site have been accumulated and written over thirty years and I wanted to put them out there!

I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

Where do I get my inspiration?

Having children (three in total) means there are hardly ever any dull moments in my life. Between answering curious questions, being made to watch endless movies, going out and travelling, the canvas of my mind is always flowered with innovative ways of answering the non-stop questions that constantly arise, as well as coming up with "What if?" scenarios that inevitable come up.

I have also been an avid reader from a very young age, something that has further opened up my creative mind, allowing me to imagine possibilities beyond what I have read.

Every new day creates limitless potentialities for the creation of something novel (pun intended), and the opportunity to put a new idea to paper always exists. So, here's to much more writing and to the promise of new ideas!
