Guided by her boundless imagination and unwavering determination, Farheen began her journey following the wisdom of Louis L’Amour: “Start writing no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.” Her initial steps involved writing short poems and pouring her thoughts into a daily diary. Following that, her next stride involved seeking a secure, reliable and cost-free platform for self-publishing. Luckily, it was during this quest she discovered Notion Press, a self-publishing agency that provided the necessary support for her book’s publication. 

Farheen’s book explores the timeless question about the existence of ghosts. Through the eyes of the protagonist, readers are immersed in a thrilling narrative that challenges beliefs and encourages contemplation of supernatural enigmas. 

The pivotal role of the school’s encouragement and the unwavering support of her family in her achievements demonstrates the impact of a nurturing community. As readers delve into the pages of the book, they not only embark on an exciting adventure but also witness the blossoming of a young talent, nurtured and supported by a strong educational foundation and passion for storytelling.
