Peter Rollins

Individually, we've taken the world on and won; together, we must take on the challenge of creating a new, peaceful, humane and competitive nation and prevail.

Gloria Macapagal Arroyo

Writing a novel is a lot like directing a movie because you are creating a world and a tone, you are creating a large canvas and all the details.
