Devi Di Guida

I grew up in a small village in Guyana with a population of no more than 250.  It is the only English speaking country in South America. There was no running water until I was 7 years old and electricity arrived when I was in my mid-teens. My parent’s first house was made out of mud with a coconut-branched roof. Sounds poor– but I don't remember ever being hungry as the land was rich and the ponds were filled with fish. My first language is Creole, sometimes referred to as Patwah, which is a common language spoken around the Caribbean. English is taught in schools. I studied French as a second language at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, where I now live. My husband is Italian so I learned this language to be able to communicate with his family. Our children are multi-ethnic and multi-lingual and as my family life is filled with multi-culturalism, it was just easy to write on this theme and capture the various voices. I am currently working on my next novel titled, The Chakra Stone, a continuation of Kaman’s next adventure.
