I have just submitted my second book of the series, "Living Between the Cracks; the Cracks Between Time and Space. Book 1 is titled: BETWEEN. ...
Let there be no hesitation—the train has emerged again,Through the dark tunneled domain of separation and pain.They push them in—no words, no names,Just hollow stares and hidden shame.The doors slam shut—the bars clang down,Twist and shout—Silence lingers… no way out.
Unless—we get loud.For the human spirit was born to fight.And...

by Zhander P'ng I was born on April 29th. I wake up every morning at 4:29 AM. Not 4:30. Not 4:28. 4:29.

The night I began to write againhad been a rather dark night of the soul.I was worried, fearful, and distressed—chained to anxiety, strained by debt,and the loss of nearly everything I loved.A house—a home I could no longer own.There was the still decline of my father’s kind and brilliant...
