A Brighter Path...
NL #35
When I started my author journey, I didn’t know who to turn to for help. Thankfully, people made my path so much brighter. Thank you to my partner, Lawrence, for your love and support; my parents for your encouragement; and my friends - Pooneh Abousleman Rhea Morrigan Anna Marie Leffew, PA, Susan Berry, Megan Ashley Faith ljiga Arindam Kalita Donnie T. Hardison, Marjorielin Jason Jones, Beth Koski, Lori, and so many others for your kindness, ideas, and wisdom. I’m glad to know each of you.
United in Kindness is my publication, and I like to spread kindness. I’m hoping you can restack this post and/or reach out to my friends below.
Faith Ijiga has spent the past nine years working with words—helping people shape their ideas, refine their manuscripts, and communicate clearly through writing. Much of her work revolves around editing, proofreading, and beta reading, especially for authors who want their message to come through cleanly and professionally. She also takes on ghostwriting and copywriting projects as needed, depending on the scope and required voice.
Alongside this, she hosts the Christian Readers Community Podcast, where she speaks with Christian authors about their books, journeys, and the messages behind their writing. It’s something she cares deeply about because it creates space for meaningful stories to be heard.
If you need help polishing your work or bringing a writing project together, you can reach her at authorfaithijiga@gmail.com - and tell her I sent you. :)
Arindam Kalita is an author with an incredible imagination, and he’s determined to get his stories in front of traditional publishing companies. He’s from a remote and economically challenged village in India. His work has appeared in CreepyPod, The Brussels Review, The Afterpast Review, and multiple anthologies. He won third prize in the Curious Curls Fiction Contest and was shortlisted for the Minds Shine Bright Writing Competition.

I didn't have the support you did, but it didn't stop me from writing. My first book came back in 1984 in the form of a scifi book about a space station like Babylon 5. After I saw that there were a number of other books like mine, I stopped. I started again in 2004 with "Prisoners In Time. An Amy Jones Adventure". I am still writing today, but in a new blog, and finishing up a Childrens good. I love to write. God bless you all.
I love this Author her books are heartwarming and touch you deep down in your soul and heart. If you haven’t read one of her books you are missing out on the very best. I highly recommend her books.
