..... IS A JOURNEY THAT TAKES YOU AROUND THE WORLD, BRINGING TO LIFE THE HUMAN SIDE OF CONFLICTS THAT TEAR PEOPLE APART.
EXCERPT
The haunting images of people falling dead, as the flames of life were extinguished in a puff of smoke, danced before my eyes. I wanted to run.I wanted to shout. I wanted the pain coursing through my veins to end in a deafening blast. I wanted the dead back. The silence around was too loud for me. I couldn’t cope. Slowly, my dead-still surroundings started stirring and I became aware of the voices around me … some begging for mercy … some calling out to their loved ones … and what seemed perhaps, newly orphaned children crying piteously. I heard Death’s cape swish and flap in the sick winds that Murder blew. Images of corpses with a permanent scream locked into their faces were etched in my memory forever.
‘Habimana, Habimana, are you one of those faces?’ No!
It cannot be.
Pain shot up my left arm.
I fell back in a stupor.
Habimana … I know you are not dead … I will find you,
wherever you are …
Blood dripped somewhere.
Blackness.

It's party time! :-) I have a few reasons to celebrate: It's my birthday on June 29th, I've reached almost 1000 likes on my Facebook Author Page, and I've passed my first anniversary as a romance novelist.
And because I can't invite all of you amazing people to Sri Lanka to celebrate with me, I'm having a sort of online party: Enter the awesome giveaway below to win almost 20 eBooks by authors from around the world (most of them romance novels). Oh, and don't forget to post nice cake pictures on my wall once it's really my birthday! Just kidding, just kidding... Birthday Bash: Book Blast Giveaway
