Ask the Author: Do you feel your work has touched someone else’s life?

I like to think so. Writing has changed my life in an extraordinary way. I have more fictional friends than real-life friends, but I’m not ashamed to admit it. Storytelling has become a source of solace and a better reason to wake up each day. Crafting stories has brought joy to me, and I hope it has done the same for others. When I first began writing, I learned that the power of a story lies in its ability to emotionally move the reader. If a story doesn’t have that punch, it won’t reach the hearts of readers. I believe that writing has the potential to touch lives, foster a sense of understanding, and bring out the best in us. Writing is an incredible way to express ourselves and spread hope to others.
