I have always wanted to write a fantasy/ paranormal book. Magic is definitely something that has intrigued me for a long time and so, I decided to write my imaginations and ideas in the form of Mysteries and Mayhem
I guess connecting the dots has definitely been the most difficult part for me. When you write a book, it must do justice to the characters and the overall plot. Leaving behind important plot points or inability to describe a necessary situation drags the story down and doesn't leave a favourable impression on the readers. I want my readers to be satisfied with my book, and that has been the most difficult work for me.
Mysteries and Mayhem is definitely my most successful project up until now. It has gotten 5.08K reads so far (in 9 months). Right now, I'm editing and still trying to bring about new and improved changes to the storyline.
I have definitely enjoyed writing the magical fights that occur throughout the book. Creating spells is also one thing that I have enjoyed the most.

Initially, it was meant to be a standalone, but now, I have decided to make it into a series.
I want the readers to take away the happy moments that the characters cherished in the book. It is a kind of story that a person of any age can relate to and that is what, I believe, the readers will love about this book.

Write what you want to read. If you don't like your story, no one else will. Also, if you are writing something only because it is in trend at the moment and not because got really want to write something like that, I suggest that you should think again, because whatever is in trend now, might not be tomorrow. Make the smart choice.

Rosalyn is kind, generous and helpful to her friends and everyone she cares about. She can be callous and vicious when it comes to defending her friends and that's kind of an amplified version of how I see myself. I do share some similarities with her, but not so much as Kristen, another lead in the book. Kristen is definitely someone that I can relate to the most. She's an introvert, protective of her friends, afraid of letting others know about her feelings and she has a darkness behind all of the charm and quiet something that I definitely do.
Definitely the twists and turns. You can never be sure of who is actually the villain of the story. One moment you are in love with a character and in the very next moment, they are your staunch enemies. So yeah, that's the way I had planned it all along and if you are a fan of such cliffhangers that keep you on the edge of your seat, you are definitely in the right place.

Right now, I'm mostly focused on editing Mysteries and Mayhem and writing its sequel. I have many projects that I have planned, which could last a lifetime, but you can surely expect more fantasy/ paranormal books from me.

The Fortunate Cultivator's Treasure [to Greatness]
Oh, the Cultivator's Treasure, the most powerful group of mercenaries—and cultivators—to ever exist in the Eight Kingdoms. Legends say that they defeated the Spiritual Beast of the West with their hands tied and while drinking Daqujiu. According to Bakhtam's own accounts, they even defeated the Golden Dragon of the Southeast during Sun King's Summer Solstice. Truly an impressive feat that echoed across the Eight Kingdoms faster than Hari could say good heavens! However, at the height of its power and absurd stories, the Cultivator's Treasure disappeared. And now that the Eight Kingdoms are no more, and the Jade Immortal slowly grows his hold on the North, it's up to Hari to find the Cultivator's Treasure again and bring them back together. But do they even exist? Who knows? Follow Hari and her search for the Cultivator's Treasure, while she tries to find her place in a world filled with war. - - [I hope you all enjoy the story. From a Cultivation fan to another.] [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [Also, on SpaceBattles and Scribblehub.]

8 88The Tears of Kas̆dael
It was just supposed to be a game. A really, really great game, yes - but a game. Instead, Jasper got his heart ripped out by a brooding goddess and awoke to find himself in another world. No weapons, no skills. Naked. Trapped in a world full of ancient horrors, where gods and monsters still roam the earth, Jasper is forced to adapt quickly or die - and he's not ready to die. Good thing he's a mage. This is a high-fantasy novel with light LitRPG elements. It's not super-crunchy, but the system is an important part of the story. There is some light cursing and gore, but this is not a Grimdark novel. There will also be no harem. The current schedule is chapters on M-W-F of around 2000-2500 words, as well as occasional bonus chapters that provide background or insights into side characters. This is my first real attempt at writing a full novel, but the story is based on a world that I've been creating and re-creating since I was a child. I have an extensive "history" and religion, and even a semi-cohesive language system worked out, which will hopefully slowly shine through as the story progresses. I want to avoid having too many info-dumps, so I may from time to time post a bonus lore chapter that will explain some of the background for any who are interested.
