It is that beautiful month of September once more at our doorstep. Nine months into a year we just ushered in, and I can't believe it. What's in store for September, now that August has passed by?
I'd like my books to soar because they were written with so much passion and love. My new publication is a children's story titled The Adventures of Tiny Star. Adults and children will fall in love with adorable Tiny. #Gift a child a #book, and give them an edge in educational fun. Reading a storybook will empower them with a love for learning. You can buy them from various #marketplaces, and they are also distributed to #libraries. I published the book through PublishDrive (https://publishdrive.com). I will keep you updated.
With Merdeka celebrations still ongoing, I'd like to share a part of a poem my good friend, Ray Smith, sent to me. A patriotic Malaysian, she is married to a British national. I believe we think the same when recounting our beautiful nation, when growing up, and how it has changed over the years.
In profound nostalgia, she says this: 'Give true meaning to Merdeka.'
Turn it around (the country)
Into a green pasture
A land of promise for
All
Give us a sky that's blue
Give us a future that's bright
Give us a reason to live
And thrive
And most of all
Love all your children
Equally
Thank you, Ray, for the meaningful verses. A true way to feel and hope for our country.

New Publication by #PublishDrive - Read about the adorable Tiny Star who slips and falls from a cloud and what happens when it lands and gets stuck in the Earth's crust.
#The Adventures of Tiny Star is an adorable story I wrote for a very special young man. He turned six on 27th August. I was more excited for him, and began crafting this story a couple of weeks before.
It has everything a child will love - adventure, intrigue, and it will bring on that infectious smile with the antics of the forest animals.
I published the book through @Publishdrive on August 14th, and they distribute the book to libraries and marketplaces. Apple Books was the first to publish it. The link is below. Here's a summary for your kind reading. #GiftAChild a book today - and let's begin their first reading experience.
The book will be published on the following sites and more through @Publishdrive. I will keep you updated. They will distribute the book to libraries, retail outlets and other marketplaces.
