Revisions make your manuscript shine and allow you to shape your words and pages into their best form. The common misconception that revisions are an indication of mistakes is wrong.

A well written book is an escape from one’s routine reality and a way of revealing a unique point of view.

My best hope: proffer a love affair and an entertaining encounter. My favorite books transport me to new worlds and—the best—give me a familiar, beautiful place to visit time and again.(less)

This book is the book of my foodie heart.

I injected as much of The Mummy (1999) vibes into this.

I hope readers love Cai, Bo, Seon, Kama, and Tala as much as I do.
