I am a writer. Or, at least, I identify myself as one. And for writers, perhaps reading books is something inseparable to their lives.

It is no secret by now that my kind of writing sessions had always been long and torturing. Since I have to juggle with my day job and other side projects, I can only focus 100% on writing if I were to write non-stop. And that often translates into 5-7 hours of writing non-stop in…
If you have read my debut novel, 3 (Tiga), you will know that I often draw inspiration from Japanese culture. After all, there are a lot to be loved from their culture, don’t you agree?

There are a lot of parties involved in the writing process of my newest book, UNSPOKEN WORDS. The writing part—sure, it was pretty much solitary. But I owe the conception of this book to a lot of wonderful people, and I am here to convey my gratitude to each and every one of these individuals.…
It is no secret that my productivity comes in waves, and an irregular one at that. Sometimes, it even bothered me enough that I had to organize a writing retreat in order to get back to writing. However, I have to say that my experience in writing Unspoken Words was quite peculiar. If you have…
