Alia Al-Ghafri
I try to be as honest as I can about myself, I asked my family and friends what they think of me and what their expectations are. And there were so many positive words I heard for the first time; because I've never asked them such a question before. But I could not receive answers regarding my ambition as a writer and my first attempts at writing; because I did not share it with them, I was too shy about it and had no courage to do so. For my first work Earth Child, I decided to send the work to Austin Macauley Publishers myself, and I was very skeptical about it, would they accept it or not? Is it worth reading or not? By the grace of God, after accepting this book, I hope that those close to me will get to know this aspect of me more, and that I will fulfill their great aspirations about it.
