Unfulfilled: A Not So Sparkling Life

One would think that if you grew up in a world of sparkle and creativity that the rest of your life would be the same. Right?

No so.

In this raw and reflective memoir by author and writer, Tiara King, she delves into experiences that have led her to the life she has now. One of toxicity, anger, sacrifice, envy, and pain amidst all of the creativities she’s delved into. The toxic nature of the people around her and the family she grew up in. The pain at not having the life she thought she was going to have, and of arguing with the Universe for giving her the life she got, dealing with the anger from that and the feelings of being sacrificed for another. The envy at not having the freedom to do what she wants when she wants and have the life she envisions in her mind, while dealing with the life she was dumped in by family and the Universe, using jewellery and writing as her escape.

These are stories about her school years, life, family, being a carer, the rise and fall of her jewellery business, her writing career, and how she came to write under three names and set up a publishing house for herself, and what her goals are for the future as she reflects on the last fifty years. Tiara’s also written poems for the book and placed one between each chapter just because she could.

This is a tale of life and creativity that’s striving for recognition in a world that doesn’t want to give it. A life of no love, no success, and no freedom to be who you truly want to be.

A life that’s not so sparkling.

Welcome to the sparkling world of Tiara King, Creative Artist.

Tiara burst into the world of publishing in 2011 and has blazed a trail ever since. Writing adult fiction as L.J. Diva, non-fiction and teen stories as Tiara King, and young adult stories as T.K. Wrathbone, she started her own publishing house, Royal Star Publishing, to accommodate all of her books, genres, and multiple personalities.

Tiara has also been creating jewellery and accessories since 1990, turned her obsessive love for it into her label, Jewel Divas, and writes at her style site, Jewel Divas Style, a one-stop blog for sparkling jewels, style, fun, and dancing under disco balls. She added styling and colour courses to her repertoire through the Academy of Professional Image in 2013.

Tiara lives in Australia, has an obsession with colourful kaftans and kimonos, is a jewellery and sparkle addict, ’80s music lover, book collector, and loves anything tropical.

She’s also the long-term carer for her mother, but hopes that one day she’ll finally be free to spread her wings and move her creative life to Queensland’s Gold Coast.
