How did you become an author and get published? Share your experience.It was the First Wave of Pandemic. I finished my daily practice of Yogic excersises and meditation as per Master Yogananda's instructions. Then I opened my laptop to work.

Which character do you enjoy writing the most as a writer and why? If choosing a favorite character is like choosing a favorite child, which character do you find requires the most attention and detail from you as a writer?As a writer, I'm deeply drawn to biblical characters such as Joseph, Daniel, and Isaac. Their stories are not only compelling narratives but also a source of timeless wisdom. Each character presents a unique set of challenges, triumphs, and lessons, allowing me to explore the depth of human experience and faith in my writing. While it's challenging to choose a favorite, delving into the lives of these biblical figures has been a source of profound inspiration and a journey of continuous discovery in my writing.View More
