First Book Blues
My first novel, Tea With Nanny , was self-published in 2017 on Amazon: it originated from a creative writing course in college in 1985. Although I had wonderful relationships with both of my grandmothers, my paternal grandmother, "Nanny" and grandfather- "Paw-Paw", (by her second marriage, never really knew my biological grandfather) held a considerably significant influence in my childhood, thus the photo of Nanny as a young woman on the cover.

On the socioeconomics of being humane
The socioeconomics of humanness lies in the beauty of balancing the aspects of togetherness and isolation. In a world where life coincides with the duality of forces, oscillating between the forces of light and dark, beauty and hate, love and hatred, birth and death, humans are the most endearing and detrimental beings ever to exist. The prowess of intellect and communication, with the stellar mind that created the strides of evolution and lapses of civilization, is undeniably the most striking aspect of what makes humans the most resilient beings of them all. Yet we fall into the pits of downfall, where we forget the radiance of hope, the enclasp of a mother’s warmth, the depth of kindness, the trance that we fall into from time to time although harrowing, is what makes us human. We have to go through a phase of failure and aloofness to fully embrace the goodness of bliss and the peonies of gratitude that embellish the strides of our existential realm.
