Writing has always been a passion of mine. Being able to create memorable characters and vivid stories is truly a blessing that I do not take for granted. Equally, my love for reading great books that shifts something inside of me is one of the best past times ever! I truly believe that to be a good writer you must be an avid reader. Juggling family, work and writing, it is sometimes hard to find a moment to sit back and escape into a good book, but it is something that we as writers and we as avid readers must do to sustain happiness. Love: Read: Write: Eat: Sleep: (and in that order) Shakara  :)
