While I was writing this episode, I became Aden, whose life grew lighter because of Roshan’s mischievous presence. I became Lisa, who secretly carried the torch for him. I became Freddie, who climbed on his back for horsygoda rides.

How do you go on when someone who shaped your world is suddenly gone?

Episode 14: The Confrontation is now live.

Roshan is leaving.

Aden is finally getting everything he ever wanted.

So why is Lisa crying?

As secrets, dreams, and friendships collide beneath the banyan tree, Aden begins to realise there may be more to Lisa's tears than anyone knows.

The Pianist Brothers: Episode 13 is out.

The applause has faded.
The stage lights are gone.
But for Aden, something far more important begins that night—a family, a future, and a dream finally within reach.
Until one unsettling question changes everything—
Where is Lisa?

He didn’t expect anything to change that evening.
Just another quiet dinner.
But she came to him with a plate of cookies… and for the first time, she didn’t feel like a stranger in his life.

Somewhere in that moment, a broken family learned how to sit at the same table again.

Happy New Year 2026!

This year, lettuce leaves take a break, boiled veggies step in, grilled and steamed chicken are battling for attention, basmati rice wins over pasta, and Schweppes bows out in favor of mineral water.

Almost a month since the release of Blue Spanish Eyes, and the response has been delightfully unexpected. A few blue-eyed ladies want to be on the next cover, some “bronze Adonises” sent connection requests, and Engelbert Humperdinck (not the real one!) keeps liking my posts.
Meanwhile, Mariella and José are returning in Part 2. Grab your copy here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FVGDTS2X

Each book I release reminds me that I can do it on my own, with faith, perseverance, and grace.
It takes me back to Mark 9:23: “All things are possible to him who believes.”

The villa in Blue Spanish Eyes was inspired by the one where I lived. Every weekend, our neighbours from Mexico City would come to Lomas to unwind. The mariachis would play all night, keeping everyone awake — but somehow, no one really minded.
