Naomi Etienne

Naomi is a writer through and through. She enjoys spending her days living by her pen (well, almost) and watching characters as well as stories unfold on film. Naomi graduated with a B.A. in English at the University of Utah in 2014. Her favorite class was on the study of Alfred
Hitchcock films, where she was introduced to the history of film, film noir, and black and white films.

‘The Water Diviner’ is Divine Indeed

by Naomi Etienne

If for anything, go because it has a good, heart-warming story.
