I am a teacher by profession and a writer by vocation. With the release of my debut novel, Maya's New Husband, my vocation has begun to overtake my profession. I have no complaints with that, whatsoever.

People have told me I am observant, and most of the things I see end up being in my stories somehow. So, you are warned!

Most of my works so far have been horror. Though I do write other things such as romance and drama, I feel I am veering more in the horror direction. Check out my short stories on my website at http://NeilDSilva.com/ to get a feel of my writing.

I am also active on social media, especially on Facebook. If you are writer or an author, you are welcome to join my FB group For Writers, By Authors, where you will find published authors advising budding writers on how to set their game. Through this FB page, I also promote authors in the way I can.

My #MicroHorror stories on my website and the FB group Micro Horror Chronicles have become quite popular too. Do drop in when you can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to get in touch with other likeminded writers and readers who can appreciate my work.

Interests

I am an avid movie watcher. I have a leaning towards world cinema. I am voracious with TV shows as well, and can lap up several episodes a day of a riveting drama if I have the time.
