Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I work full time but I also like to spend time alone to look at myself and those around me and try to make sense of things. This led to a lot of reading on philosophy, religion and psychology. That with my experiences and observations led to a deep desire to express my thoughts and feelings. Writing became my outlet. I have written several articles on blogs, but I have only written three book. Two are short non fiction books. My third book is my first fictional novel. I decided to write fiction after realizing how effective it is at depicting fact in a very subtle manageable way.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of the latest book is ‘Mirrors of Illusion’. It was inspired by observations and personal experiences where I saw how humanity suffers predominantly as a result of the projection of fear. This happens in every corner of one’s existence. We attack what we fear, creating more fear and retaliatory attacks and the circle continues but at the end of the day we all want the same things. We just need to practice non judgement, patience and empathy – the attributes of love. With love, fear will disappear
