About this author

Living her life in the fast lane, Lada Ray, M.A., always wanted to write cool stories, which she'd been imagining in her head ever since she can remember.

Lada holds a Master's Degree in comparative linguistics (graduated summa cum laude,) is fluent in several languages and has traveled to twenty six countries in Europe, Asia, North and South America, as well as Africa.

“Real confidence has a realistic view of itself. It knows what it is capable of and not capable of. Real confidence does not need to overcompensate for anything, it doesn’t have to try harder to be more than what it already is. Real confidence does not beat itself up when it makes a mistake. Real confidence is secure enough to let someone else take the credit for something, without losing its own identity. Real confidence is humble. Real confidence recognizes its weaknesses and limitations, and is secure enough to admit when it is wrong."

Hi MC, sorry for the late response - I just saw your message.

Congratulations on the feature!

And what a marvelous idea! I'd be delighted if you plugged my books. Please let me know if you need anything special from me to do so.

I am very happy for you, MC! This should be a great exposure for your books. I'll be sure to listen and I'll be sure to tweet it!

All the best,
