So title of the book is When Halloween Met Christmas
and it is set right in this street
in downtown Kitchener and this book is about a guy
who is broken from inside and going
for a walk on the night of Halloween and that's when he met a ghost.
Her name is Esther.
She is trying to escape downtown Kitchener
but for some reason she is still stuck and
call it fate or chance or anything they uh they meet each other
on uh on the halloween night and
they get bound to each other they get stuck with each other
and there is no other option left
rather than exploring each other's story you're an engineer
when did you realize that you had
this gothic ghost romance in your head well
um i started writing during early adulthood
when I was transitioning from teenager to adult
and you know at that time we are going through
a lot of emotions and every time I used
to get overwhelmed by emotions like by intuition I
decided to pick up pen and paper
or whenever I think I have too much in my head and I want to
let it go creatively.
When I talk about my writing skills my friends and family still find me
they still put me in an awkward position like they they
are yet to believe that I am an author
but as I said like I started my writing journey during early adulthood
and it's it's been mainly
deep practice so like I might be too young for being a writer
but it's been 11 years so I have
like pretty good experience with that so I think
my experience can compensate for my age I guess
We'll
be
right
back.
