Review

"Being a first time authoress is not easy, and more so when the writer is as young as Ardra. Am amazed at the level of matured writing, the plot and the imagination of the writer. Came to know that it is her first novel, and I must say she has done a splendid job. Look forward to her next book, and wish her to be counted among the bright writers out there. All good wishes."

About the Author
A description.
Ardra preferred growing up with books and reading. She loved her snacks break – a time where books fell in to her plate instead of fries and sweets. Books captured her imagination by the plateful and turning the pages helped her meet her favourite characters.
She is one who doesn't talk much about herself. She also finds certain passion for dance, music and painting. As a child growing up she would always sit in a corner by herself with a pen and paper and just scribble her innocent stories. In the midst of writing stories, one day she decided that she wanted to be a famous writer. As she welcomes the status of 'debut author', she has started her second novel with high potential.
Nature has framed little Ardra with aspiring talents. Let her desire to be a well known writer come true and brighten up her writing future.
