Wordless Wednesday: Inspire Me

A few weeks ago I had a call from a friend’s brother, a person I have known since he was twelve.

“Would you be on this talk show we’re organizing?” He asked me, as a sophomore student at university in the same building where I teach. (Talk about feeling your age!)

“I always like to support students,” I said, not knowing the ambitions of their Dreamers Club.

They organized a full scale talk show with six speakers who each had an inspiring life story.

I was the writer in the lineup and dished up as much creative advice as I could.

My husband assures me I’m bad at math and much closer to the million word mark than I know. I can tell you I get better with every story I tell.

How to Pre-Order The Migrant Report

You know I’ve been hard at work on my first crime novel. Here’s the exciting news: you can see the cover and pre-order your copy of The Migrant Report, the first in the series.

“Against the glittering high-rises of the capital, Manu, a recent arrival from Nepal, drips his days away on a construction site, cut off from the world outside the labor camp.”

Cue the violin trills :).
