“I received a text from an old student, a text I had received before the holidays back when I was at school. I was reminded of the mission I have in life, which I pursued through writing. The note said: I remember the other day when you said that Santa Clause is a person who helps people, who make someone happy, a great person. You are a Santa Clause to many Miss Badiaa 🙂 Indeed it was a pleasure standing by those students while growing, and by every person through my writings. Root on inspiration this Christmas…” #MOI the books that will change their life!

Besides English, Katrina speaks French, Italian, and Spanglish. When she’s not writing, diving into magical reads, or Netflixing, she’s travelling with her favourite human – her high-school- sweetheart-turned-husband, Andy – and obsessing over her pet bunny, Magic, and newly rescued pup, Nessie. Katrina currently lives in Toronto, Ontario.
Book Synopsis
Mckenna’s never thought much of her nightmares, but on her seventeenth birthday, a vivid dream of burning at the stake awakens her dormant abilities, thrusting her into a world where faeries are real, spirits hold a grudge, and a High Priestess obsessed with a 16th-century prophecy is tracking her every move.
Now, her overprotective dads, Seán and Andre, are forced to tell her the truth—they know who her birth mother is, and her life is not the surrogate story she’s always been told. Abigail, Mckenna’s mom, is some sort of mystic, and Mckenna a Wise One. Whatever the hell that means.
With the help of a persistent little wren and company of a newfound friend, Mckenna journeys to Ireland in search of her mother and real answers. Along the way, she learns to harness her innate magic and trust her intuition, as best she can anyway—Cillian, a kind and passionate delegate who crosses her path, is proving much harder to read.
Only her mother could truly help her halt her ill fate and prepare her for what’s to come… before she gives in to the darkness she knows is buried deep within.
Wordfrom the Author to the reader – about 150 words:
The Wise One is an urban fantasy tale for the young and young at heart. Set against the backdrop of the Northern Ireland “Troubles” in the early 90s, it combines environmental themes and historical events with folklore myth, earth-based magic, and new age concepts that spiritual teachers are imparting today. Some historical figures in this story include alleged witches Alice Kyteler, Petronella de Meath, and Elizabeth Dunlop (if you’re compelled to research these, I recommend waiting until after you’ve finished this book in order to avoid spoilers).
The locations in this book are by no means accidental. During my travels in Ireland, the spots that radiated mystery and mysticism are the places where readers will also be exploring within these pages.
Now ignore everything you just read, and sit back and enjoy the scenery!
“What if your fate was decided centuries ago?”

From Host to Guest on Real News Lebanon highlighting #MOI
Interview on Real News Lebanon – Round Table Show -discussing #MOI the woman, the author, my books, and the Livestream shows on I Channel, News, & Broadcast. Conducted in the Arabic Language for the #arabworld. I invite you to watch it. (Apologies From Non-Arabic Speakers – I will try and find a way to do the translation
“The working, mom… Good morning Mommies, what a great feeling! Today is my youngest birthday, she is turning 26! No longer young I guess, but I feel selfish thinking about myself on this day, what can I say!
To begin with, let me tell you, according to many around me, they all say I have done a great job raising my daughters, they turned out… I am simply not mentioning how they turned out, although I am very proud of their achievements, both, today, I like to discuss, #MOI, the working mom.
Seriously, being a woman, a mom, a working mom, is not easy! & please note that I have super, great respect for the 24-hours non-working moms, I believe they are on non-break, no-relief time, they are on an ongoing mission.
To me, work was not negotiable, whether I needed it for financial security or not, I loved working, I loved the early wake up to go to work, I loved the stressful day, and since I can remember, I used to work, as a workaholic! As well, having a family and being a mom has always been a priority and a dream that I would never let go of. So, my life, my life on the go, my life during the ups and downs of marriage, my life at work, and my life as a mom… they rolled like a roller coaster with no regret to any. A marriage that gave me two daughters… A marriage that ended up with a divorce… A career where I succeeded, a career that I have developed, a true pride to me, but was not the favor of my marriage partner… Was it among the leads to the divorce, probably, but when I evaluated the situation, especially that it was not one of the elements I would jeopardize, I had to keep it as one of the basic entities towards my future.
As a working woman, I learned to that I needed to stand in a skirt but feel that I am wearing a suit, I learned not to fear the suits around me, and not allow them to intimidate me, I learned to stand my grounds… but wait, isn’t this what a woman should do at home, with her husband, and as a mom… probably not all I said applies to you all, but many men try to intimidate women at home and at the work field, many try to say the first and last word, and many try to overpower women simply for the purpose of gender inequality, and, while this, to me, shows great inferiority! As a woman, I love strong women, I love when a woman shows sparkling spirit in the society, I love when a woman shows strength and confidence, to me it means she is well supported emotionally, she is seen with a bold eye, respected, and loved. As a mom, whether working or not, the respect to this person is immense. No words can ever describe this person’s life. It is not about a line of duty, it is rather about what this person thinks starting when bearing their child, the fear she has to outcome during sickness, child’s emotional malaise, during growing phases, love and unhappy phases, and during every day I guess, I tell you, talking about the load of men in uniform, this person is wearing a uniform called motherhood!
So, connecting those together to reach the working woman, and dissociating them to the initial starting point, the woman, I salute you every step of the way, I salute the giving spirit, I salute the fighting spirit you have in the work field and as a mom, the spirit you raise in the children, the leaders of tomorrow, I salute your smile despite the worry, and the ongoing strength despite what is happening inside your life, and mainly…. hear this, hear me clearly, I SALUTE THE MAN THAT DARES TO STAND BY YOU, BE THE POWER BEHIND YOU, AND SHADOW YOU!
#MOI Cheers to you all!

SYNOPSIS OF FEMININE SHADES BY TRACEY CHIZOBA FLETCHER
The first story, “Rising from Ashes”, portrays Nneka’s journey to empowerment. Having come from an impoverished background, without any support from her father, she leaves her father’s house with her mother, who can no longer withstand domestic violence, and arrives in her grandfather’s house. Her grandfather marries her off to an older man, Agwu, who treats her like a slave. In a fit of rage, she accidentally kills Agwu, and is left at the mercy of the justice system. However, a non-governmental organization come to her rescue, and plead her case. The organization provide shelter and support, and Nneka is able to develop the strength and courage to visit her past in order to find healing and closure, and move a step ahead by training to become to a software developer.
The protagonist in “Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown” is Maureen. She is a career-woman, wife, and mother. She however struggles to find her self-worth, as her capabilities are questioned after giving birth to her first child; in her home as a wife and mother, and in her office when she returns after maternity leave. She battles with her emotions, until she comes to an understanding that only a queen can have battles, and fight to overcome them.
The protagonist in “E go Beta!” is Mama Ekene, a widow, who lost her husband when her children where very young. Now in her 50’s, she tries to keep hope alive, and seeks a better tomorrow in the midst of hardships faced by herself and her children.
Ezinne in “On the 28th” is an undergraduate, studying to become a microbiologist. She derails when the three high class ladies in her department, befriend her, and introduce her to a billionaire. She finds herself lost in his seduction, and doesn’t realize the trap he has set, until he deflowers her, and becomes incommunicado. The fact that she could be pregnant, brings her to her knees. It’s a long road to placing her feet back on the ground, as she painfully waits for her period to show its face again.
“Yellow Pawpaw” walks us through the life of Nkem, a depressed spinster, who decides to bleach her skin, in order to gain attention from the opposite sex, in her bid to find a husband. Her new endeavour leaves her almost penniless, with her business failing, and her skin getting damaged due to the harsh chemicals she uses, even as her plan to be married doesn’t seem successful. A neighbor comes to her aid, to help her rediscover and love herself again.
“My Doppelganger” features two female characters: Amaka, a Nigerian girl, and Debbie, an Amercan, as they wade through 14 years of friendship, to overcome societal and racial differences, to become bbf’s; and work together to achieve their dream of becoming lawyers, and owning their free legal advice clinic.
“Ada” is the story of Ada, the first female child of the Obi’s, as she lives up to her responsibilities, shouldering and taking care of her parents and siblings. She is rewarded with a good marriage, and a husband, willing to reward her for all the sacrifices she has made.
Word from the heart to the reader:
Feminine Shades is a collection of seven short stories central to the female gender, depicting the inward strength and courage of the female protagonists.
Each story has a message both for the male and female gender. It’s time for the silent voices of the women folk to be heard. It’s time for the men in our lives to really “SEE” what we endure on a daily basis. It’s time for a woman to be respected, supported, and loved. It’s time for a change!

About the Author: A bit about myself: Born in Singapore, I started to be interested in writing when I first got hold of books during Primary school, and from there on, I have many creative ideas that I wanted to pen down and let others read because I really want my work to inspire people to have their own creative ideas and perhaps even write interesting books. When I write, I want to tell a story, and also I do want more people to delve into books because I feel that books are really something that we can enjoy and take us away from this world and into another. Science fiction is one way to do so.
Book Synopsis: Humanity has reached the stars without our own acknowledgement. Centuries of humanity in the coast of the stars paved for civilization greater than ours. Now amidst the Second World War, these humans have returned once more to reclaim their glory. But humanity would not surrender — Resistance is established by a group known as the Mensheviks. They are working to protect humanity from destruction, even from within…
What would you like to say to the readers, a word from the heart: When you are writing, you must take into consideration that you are writing for yourself, for your own happiness and not for the sake of others. I believe in artistic independence and integrity. Throughout the centuries, the man that has taken the step forward to innovative equipped nothing but his own vision. The great creators of our time – the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors, they all stood alone against the men of their time, society, their communities. Every great new thought and new invention was opposed. His truth was his only motive. His own truth, and his own work to achieve it in his own way. I am the Howard Roark of Literature and I standby the thought of man’s pursuit for what he wants to achieve, wanting men, in my case me to write what I want to write and to produce that work that I feel is right not to serve anyone else or society but to allow human progress. The reason why I write this novel is that I wanted to express myself and the changing world that is occurring around me, each episode that I live through and the experiences that I have seen boils to formulate this story as a philosophical debate but set in a fictional realm that is different to ours. A writer must refuse to compromise with many publishing houses that are unwilling to accept innovation and in that he finds himself alone just like I do when I feel that is right and not based on what others want of me. It is in a way to encourage others to write to their hearts and produce solid work that would be the pinnacle representation of human endeavours.

We accept all, swallow all, digest all, until one day, they come through that door, and ask that boyfriend or girlfriend, what do you think, and then, forget to look at us for consent, and we have to accept and expect more so we don’t lose them… yes that child exists no more, and had moved on and away… Life!” #MOI wishing that child would teach me now how to let go!

#MOI & today’s thought of the day ”Smell the Roses & Blow out the Candles” Under the umbrella of communication and dealing with anger! Sharing a personal incident that happened last week.
“The <I do> thought is the dream of all girls, it starts at young age, it’s about the dress, the ring, the veil, the flowers, the music, the first dance, the cake, the crowd… It’s the vision of the prince, on the white horse, the kiss, the way he held my hand, the way he grabbed me on the dancing floor… Sometimes it goes beyond, to the dream of the house, the garden, the walk-in closet, the car… The girls grow, reality falls in, like darkness some of their nights become lightless, and like the thunders in the skies their dreams start turning foggy and their priorities changing…
With time, the dream starts turning into reality, and the glamourous I DO turns into LET’S BE TOGETHER. Simple, the dream of eternal love will dress a different gown, white it shall remain, but the prince becomes real, and the first dance will have a different music…
The difference between the dream of a young girl and the reality when grown, is that true love after the many heartbreaking experiences, that girl will learn that true love does not mean eternal peace, but rather standing by each other to reach it. We, people, men, and women, are different, but we all want love, a hand to hold when we share the pillow at night, and an I DO!”
#MOI When the dream becomes about the person and not the wedding, we can simply build a home instead of a house!
