She may look like Red Riding Hood, but she's actually the wolf!
Dark Hearts is a #DarkFantasy #FreeBook about a werewolf who escapes into the wild.
Haunted by her past, as well as dark elements, will she complete her journey? #IndieReads

Over the past two years of war here in Gaza, we have lived through events that the mind can barely comprehend. We lost people we loved, and it feels as if our spirits have been extinguished
My family and I lost our home, my small business, and loved ones we cherished.

Tanweer Dar's review of The Village
4/5: A decent mystery thriller which gathers pace and is as frantic at the end as it is slow at the start. There are several twists at the end of the book, some of which you can see coming and others ...

It's C S Lewis' birthday (29th November).
Are you a fan?
Aside from comic books, 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' and the Narnia series certainly contributed to me getting into #books.

Since people find being hopeful and optimistic so cringe these days, let me remind you once again that there isn’t a single liberation movement in the world that wasn’t built on hope and optimism.

The stranger pointed up towards the mountain, and the traveller nodded in gratitude and began the ascent.
