Authorial Magazine - Manila Edition
The Manila International Book Fair is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. The book fair, one of the biggest, most prestigious, and longest running events in the Philippines, is a great avenue amongst professionals in the publishing and academic world to collaborate and exchange ideas. It’s our first time to participate in this event and rally with literary giants and emerging voices from the world of books. In this issue, we start off with Virginia Paulette C. Hammack, author of the books The Hiding Place and Whisperings in the Wings. Hammack talks about her life, her two books, and her struggles as a writer. We also talked to Raju Ramanathan, world renowned enlightenment guru and author of Souls from Mercury. Ramanathan shares what inspired him to write and offers advice to aspiring authors. We still receive and get tons of contributions from talented and renowned writers, and in this issue, we’re featuring the works of Adriana Pernetz, Ted Torgersen, Donald Ray Schwartz, Gary Alan Rothhaar, Ivor Kovac, Diane Davies, and Elizabeth Len Wai. Lastly, beautiful spots and fascinating experiences await beyond the bright lights of the city when you read “The Charming City of Manila,” in our lifestyle section. We all love stories that resonate with our own, especially those that bring us to greater heights in mood and in thought. We hope you’ll enjoy reading this issue as much as we enjoyed piecing it together.

Who is this<br />
Stranger<br />
by Sally M. Russell<br />
Having just graduated from Law School in his home state of Virginia,<br />
Carlton was offered an inheritance from his grandfather that had<br />
grown through several generations. The only stipulation was that it be<br />
used in someway to help mankind which had been the dream of his<br />
great, great, great grandfather.<br />
His travels to find what he wanted brought him to a ‘little spot in the<br />
road’ in Illinois which intrigued him, but there was also a very naive<br />
young lady who was ready to learn about love and wasn’t afraid to ask<br />
questions. It’s a challenge, not only with the town that becomes his<br />
project along with his grandfather, but also with a love he’s not sure he’s<br />
ready for but doesn’t want to let go.<br />
Face into<br />
the Wind<br />
by Raymond D. Aumack<br />
The poems in this book are as diverse as you can imagine.<br />
There are poems of Irish imagination as well as poems of<br />
triumph and sadness in tragedy. There are love poems and<br />
poems observing the vicissitudes of our curious society. There<br />
are poems that simply tell stories. There are poems that<br />
celebrate personal courage. There are poems of both lament<br />
and praise. And there are poems of internal reflection.<br />
