A profound moment yesterday as I received the very first copies of my books. These advance copies are destined for someone extraordinary - a friend I have known online for so long, whose wish to read my stories despite facing life's greatest challenge, has deeply moved me. Her courage and support have been invaluable. I'm honored to share these pages with her now, a reminder that stories can bridge any distance.

Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of writing a book? Well, I’m here to tell you what happened for me.

This collection of short stories is like a rollercoaster ride through the twists and turns of the human psyche. Each tale peels back the layers of our minds, revealing the stuff that keeps us up at night. Trust me, it's been one heck of a journey, both for me as the writer and (hopefully) for you as the reader.

So, what's "Autopsy of the Mind" all about? Picture this: a bunch of...
