Author -

I am Adelle Juliata Esic. Born in Borongan Eastern Samar and living in Aloran, Misamis Occidental. A thirty-three year old. A good wife and loving child. Working in Jeddah Saudi Arabia and three years here currently. A Private Nurse of an adult. Dreaming of being an author, loving to write and with a wide imagination, cheerful person and fearing the Lord. Graduated from Nursing course. What I like to do when I take a break is write short stories and write poems.

Introduction -

During my spare time from nurse-caregiver work in Saudi, I write stories about life, experiences, places, people and friends not necessarily in just one location as I am from Manila and visit other nearby countries also. So the stories are varied and mostly about love, my favorite theme. Please enjoy my book and let me know your thoughts and comments. Many thanks and God bless!
