As a kid growing up in a third world country, writing wasn't really something that was an option as a profession. I've always been drawn to literary works that explore the strentgh and tenacity of the human spirit and if the story present insurmountable odds, so much the better!

As life would have it, it took me all this time to be able to grab that chance at writing my very first novel, the first book of three in a series that I've been working on for about a decade now. Pardon the pun, but as I begin a new "chapter" in my life as an author, I share it with those that I love and those that love the craft equally!
