“As a reader who is fairly acquainted with the works of people like Shakespeare and other such writers, it was refreshing to read a story with a similar motif as theirs but from a different perspective. It is not every day that one comes across a story about western-style royalty, written from an outside perspective; and it was truly refreshing to read a story that, on the outside, is well known, but written from a perspective that makes it sound so fairly new. From the first line of your story, it was easy to tell that you have a wonderful command of the written language, and your creative abilities shined through all the way to the last sentence.
You are a brilliant writer, one whose talent is bound to grow from here on, and we are looking forward to reading more stories from you in the future.”

‘Aunt, I just had another dream. The door was there again, but it’s different from the first and the second one…’
This is an extract, from the book, that anyone would receive so literally, but figuratively she connotes, through this given character, that the dream that you had last time, and ignored, will make it difficult for you to understand how you have to open a door for the next one. Unless you take the first one seriously only then will you realise that the reason there are different doors for each dream is because what lies beyond them is different in magnitude, impact and durability. If the dream wasn’t for you, then the door wouldn’t have been there in the first place.
This young lady has managed to grab the attention of the world in eighteen months.
Her personalities always shine through her creative artistry. A lot of times we hear about fully published and successful authors and we relate them to a specific age range, of which is quite normal because that was the system that most of us were accustomed to. Well there is certainly one young lady who is walking on the age range prejudice carpet, in aim to crush it.
She is a force to be reckoned with!
