) When did you decide that you should also write?
Ans) In 2013 I had some feelings about writing but I never expressed it to her. It until 2016 that I bought a diary where I was pouring my day to day feelings and thoughts (I have lived a sick childhood, so writing and God became are my only therapists and friends). Till today writing is now my daily bread and butter.
2) Do you want to inspire people through your writing or do you write just as a hobby?
Ans) I write to heal, nourish, reflect, sooth reader’s minds. I write for all kinds of people, the sick, broken hearted, lost, refugees, oppressed, raped, fatherless or motherless and hopeless. I usually try my best to relate what I once went through with what others are going through to inform them that there is hope on the other side.
3) What inspires you to write?
Ans) Writing is the most vital form of communication to me. I truly believe that it is one of best ways that I can reach billions of people around the globe with my message.
4) Share 3 favourite poems of yours of from your book.
DEEP
Deep
Inside your precious life
There is a clean spirit
That makes you feel pity and guilty
When you mistreat yourself and others
But you fail to manifest it
Because of your perceptions and beliefs
Wake up and manifest it
Be honest to your inner spirit
I long to be a cloud in this desert
A cloud aiming to wrestle the sun
So that rivers can swell without limits
To create millions of ever flowing sources
Sources of sweet and clear water
STARS
The sky is an extended mirror
Facing the earth downwards
It absorbs our images and dreams
Every time we look upwards
And reflects them on earth (for us)
When darkness pours on earth
There are no creatures known as stars in the sky
Our eyes give us our own images
Whenever we look in the sky
We are the stars
5) Who are your favourite writers?
Ans) It’s hard for me to just choose three from a pool of my favourite writers. However, these the creativity of these three excites me most; Rupi Kaur, Rudy Fransisco, Rick Warren and Benny Hinn. Oh sorry I have mentioned four. All in all, I am a big fan of every who expresses him or herself through writing and who reads a lot too.
6) One advice you would give to the upcoming writers?
Ans) They should put trust in God not in people who can sometimes frustrate them with negative comments about their writing life. They should also believe in themselves too and not give up when the inspiration to write is lost.
7) Did you face issue in publishing or editing?
Ans) Not really, I tried my best to do a good research about self-publishing. This helped me to know who the best publishers are. As for editing, I had a team of editors for that.

My dream is to one day live in a world without racism, discrimination, wars, rapes, immorality or selfishness only tranquillity flowing in all parts of the world.
