Hello…

My name is Annetta Jackson (anehtah) and I am a twenty-something year old Attorney-at-Law working in Gender Mainstreaming in the Caribbean twin island state of Antigua and Barbuda.

I have been writing and taking pictures since my teenage years and began blogging in high school.

This blog has served as a journal for the personal growth and self discovery. It is being curated to bring people along on adventures, organise thoughts on issues that resonate with its author, what they find interesting and thought provoking, and share a first look at whatever projects have been up her sleeve.

This is the place where I’m not solely an Attorney, a Gender Professional, an advocate, or a photographer. This is the space where I am able to comfortably sit with parts of myself.

I hope you are inspired to try new things, visit new places, and challenge structures.

Peace & Progress

  • It was only supposed to be for the week; but every kiss, adventure, and stolen moment with Rome Martin feels like it could last forever.

    Oh well. What happens in Tulum stays in Tulum. Right?

    I gave this romance a 4 star rating on Goodreads. This title is available on Kindle Unlimited.

  • Danika Brown knows what she wants: professional success, academic renown, and an occasional roll in the hay to relieve all that career-driven tension. But romance? Been there, done that, burned the T-shirt. Romantic partners, whatever their gender, are a distraction at best and a drain at worst. So Dani asks the universe for the perfect friend-with-benefits—someone who knows the score and knows their way around the bedroom.

    When brooding security guard Zafir Ansari rescues Dani from a workplace fire drill gone wrong, it’s an obvious sign: PhD student Dani and ex-rugby player Zaf are destined to sleep together. But before she can explain that fact, a video of the heroic rescue goes viral. Now half the internet is shipping #DrRugbae—and Zaf is begging Dani to play along. Turns out, his sports charity for kids could really use the publicity. Lying to help children? Who on earth would refuse?

    Dani’s plan is simple: fake a relationship in public, seduce Zaf behind the scenes. The trouble is, grumpy Zaf’s secretly a hopeless romantic—and he’s determined to corrupt Dani’s stone-cold realism. Before long, he’s tackling her fears into the dirt. But the former sports star has issues of his own, and the walls around his heart are as thick as his... um, thighs.

    Suddenly, the easy lay Dani dreamed of is more complex than her thesis. Has her wish backfired? Is her focus being tested? Or is the universe just waiting for her to take a hint?

    Loved this book!! I gave it 5 stars on Goodreads. It is part of a trilogy however, all the books can be read in any order as they standalones.

  • The first book in the Between Earth and Sky trilogy, inspired by the civilizations of the Pre-Columbian Americas and woven into a tale of celestial prophecies, political intrigue, and forbidden magic.

    A god will return

    When the earth and sky converge

    Under the black sun

    In the holy city of Tova, the winter solstice is usually a time for celebration and renewal, but this year it coincides with a solar eclipse, a rare celestial event proscribed by the Sun Priest as an unbalancing of the world.

    Meanwhile, a ship launches from a distant city bound for Tova and set to arrive on the solstice. The captain of the ship, Xiala, is a disgraced Teek whose song can calm the waters around her as easily as it can warp a man’s mind. Her ship carries one passenger. Described as harmless, the passenger, Serapio, is a young man, blind, scarred, and cloaked in destiny. As Xiala well knows, when a man is described as harmless, he usually ends up being a villain.

    This book got a solid 5 stars from me on Goodreads. The author employs phenomenal world building that GRIPS you. The second book in the series “Fevered Star” is a strong follow-up.
