"Tangle of Choices", book two of the Neglected Merge trilogy, is special for me. And that is why it means so much that readers feel that I've put a part of my heart into it. I feel overwhelmed to receive a 5-star review from someone whom I respect as a person and as an outstanding... Continue Reading →
Dear Diary,
By the age of seventeen, I’d already gotten too intimately acquainted with the transient nature of life. I hadn’t even pulled through the teenage years before I lost my best friend, my first admirer, and my father. None of these losses was what one could call a natural course of life. Don’t get me wrong,... Continue Reading →
“Death Takes a Holiday at Pemberley” by Kelly Miller
Reading this book was like meeting dear friends after separation. I couldn’t stop smiling as a picture of Lizzy and Mr Darcy’s marital bliss unfolded on the pages. “Death Takes a Holiday at Pemberley”, just like other books penned by Kelly Miller, will please Jane Austen’s fans, as well as those who love the regency...

Dear Diary,
I was either writing or reading something since I was thirteen. I published my first novel when I was forty. I hadn’t written anything in between for over a decade. I’m still trying to understand where along the road I took the wrong bend. My mom’s sister was a member of our family. She came... Continue Reading →
“Will” by Will Smith
This is one of the best autobiographical books I have read so far. And I do love reading biographies and autobiographies. In the Book Reviews section, there are only some such books listed. I’ll be adding more. “Will” by Will Smith has the most important feature that makes an autobiography worth reading: sincerity. I’m not... Continue Reading →
Dear Diary,

Hope, sympathy, some tears, and, of course, happiness.“To Catch a Feather” is a story of two people, who had their share of grief and struggle in life, but who dare... Continue Reading →
“God of Nothing” by Shane Scott
What a ride it has been reading Shane Scott’s book “God of Nothing”! I feel like I straddled a tsunami and rode the whole way to the shore and even further at lightning speed. I won’t try to retell the plot. First of all, I think readers should make that discovery themselves. But in this... Continue Reading →
“Witch’s Mirror” and “Witches’ Masquerade” by Eva Alton
"Witch’s Mirror” is the second book in the “Vampires of the Emberbury” series by Eva Alton. I enjoyed the first book “Stray Witch” so much that I went on reading the second one right away. And after reading the second, I dived right into the third. “Witch’s Mirror” has a darker edge to it. Alba,... Continue Reading →
“Stray Witch” by Eva Alton
As I’m sitting and staring at the blinking cursor, I can’t but dwell on the controversies of a human mind. Why is it so that when you like something, dozens of words, appropriate to express your positive feelings spring obligingly in your head, but when you’ve irrevocably fallen in love with it, your mind goes...
