An eclectic mix of accomplished writers from across the world and yet, the language of Love, in all its shades, remains the same. It begs of you to pause for a moment, reflect, and bathe in its beauty. It begs of you to see that poetry in itself is an act of Love, an act of healing, and that the stories too urge you to dance despite the darkness.

      • Yes, my poetry is mostly a contemplation and reflection on personal experiences or an observation of the experiences of others. These observations and reflections certainly influence other genres of my writing.

      • When readers get in touch to say things like : " I love this book. It touched my heart" and another " This book helped heal my soul". Having that impact ... having my words touch the heart of another living being... that is what success looks like to me....

      • My mother inspired me to write and encouraged me at an early age. She wrote poetry. But it was also her way of keeping me occupied after school, while she was away at work. I have been writing ever since but have only recently been "pushed to publish" my first book

      • Keep pen and paper (or whatever writing medium you prefer) easily accessible, especially at your bedside, so as to ink it when you think it.
