Literary journey of an office career escapee
It’s been almost two years since my last podcast or YouTube show appearance. It isn’t a coincidence that in 2025, I also didn’t publish a new book. The reason for the ‘radio silence” is that I’ve been busy writing. And life demands from us that we set priorities. That is, if we wish to get... Continue Reading →
I am beyond happy to share that "The Accidental Cop" has won a silver medal in the 2025 Global Book Awards. It will always remain a very special book for me, no matter how many more I write. I am grateful for all the recognition it has received in the two years since it was... Continue Reading →

Moreover, it seems that the white blanket that covered the ground when I woke up today is here to stay. What is the best thing to do when the weather is raging outside? For an avid...

It isn’t easy to open up your heart to one person. The fear that you will be misunderstood is always there. Still, it is incomparably more difficult to talk openly when you don’t know who will be listening to your words. It isn’t easy for me to talk about my writing journey in front of...

I was looking forward to the Page Chewing episode featuring two amazing authors from Canada, Anne M. Smith-Nochasak and A-M Mawhiney. I’ve read all their books, and I knew that what they’d share would be deep and insightful. I wasn’t disappointed in my expectations. On the show, they discuss things that interest me as an...
