Author has written 43 stories for Haiku, Kids, General, Religion, Friendship, Nature, Life, Fantasy, and Romance. I'm a fledgling writer so my writing is still dilettantish, amateurish, and mediocre (but that is for the reviewers to decide isn't it? so I'm pleading you all to please review my works!)... stay tuned for my better and more impressive compositions (especially those under the short story category) as I am still polishing them... And to all who read and reviewed my works thanks a trillion... You guys ROCK!!! It's all about reciprocity, YOU READ AND REVIEW MY WORKS THEN I'LL DO THE SAME WITH YOURS (smiles) but I can't assure that entirely... you can freely add any CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISMS if you feel the need to. My haikus are big hits...
