The Blurb:  You can sleep through the world, but not through yourself. A childhood incident she can’t recollect… A haunting nightmare that jolts her out of sleep… For Zara, knowing is suffering. Cocooned in the shell she has built around herself, life is all about bare survival until one day she gets an email from The Storyteller… Zara is hooked by his words and hungry for more. But, to her horror, she learns he knows more about her than she thought. When her step-cousin Zachariah lands after eight years, reviving bittersweet memories, Zara must face her worst demons.

Author's Interview with Sumanta Barooah.

First, before we move forward with our Authors Interview, I would like to start with an introduction.  1. Could you please introduce yourself to us? I am Senior Citizen. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to travel extensively around the world. With a personal interest in people, culture, cuisine of the countries I spent time in either for work or for travel, I came across many many people and willingly and unwillingly had enchanting adventures. I believe in people, their origins and culture since I lived with them, rather than seeing from a Hotel window. It had broadened my outlook of life. Now I have the time to write my stories, some memoir based mostly fictional. 2. Congratulations on your book. So what inspired you to write this book? China is a vast country and the people away from the Megacities are very simple and full of empathy. Religion and beliefs still exist and the normal way of life exists. I met and heard innumerable stories of success and despair in the expansionis...

Author's Interview with Anmol.

First, before we move forward with our Authors Interview, I would like to start with an introduction. 1. Could you please introduce yourself to us? My name is Anmol. I am a Data Scientist with one of the world’s Largest Audit Firms. I am an Engineer by education; an Artist, a Writer and a father by choice. 2. Congratulations on your book. So what inspired you to write this book? I think it was my work. As a Data Scientist, I am always questioned; can your predictions be made more accurate; and a thought would always pop-up - "It's a Time Traveler can predict better than a Data Scientist." That thought later became an inspiration. 3. What is the book all about? It's a story of a superhero who can leave his body and travel the universe as a soul. But in the real world, he is just an ordinary human being. He is fighting against a powerful soul-reaper who wants to enslave mankind and can even enter dreams of individuals and manipulate them. 4. Why did you choose this genr...

My name is Cynthia and I decided to emigrate to London when I was 23 years old in the pursuit of exploring my ambitions and find myself. Today, six years later, I feel that I know exactly who I am and who I aspire to be. I am now a qualified teacher, which is the career that I love and I am also an author. 2. Congratulations on your book. So what inspired you to write this book? I have loads of stories written and I knew that one day I would publish a book. But during the lockdown this year I found my diary where I used to vent about some parts of my life in this country. That made me emotional and I wished I could go back in time and give some advice to that fragile and young me, so I decided to grab my laptop to type it all in. I sent drafts to some people to give me feedback, and I realized that it can help young women going through...
