with worry in his face.

these book is more than just a story. To me it's a journey. A relentless pursuit of truth, emotion, and raw humanity. My pen moves when the weight of the world, is laden upon it. Trying to capture the intricacies of pain, the beauty of love, the struggle of existence. I don’t write for fame or applause. I write because I have to. Because these stories pulse through my veins and demand to be heard.
