Mahmurova Veronika Labyrinth of Love
I'm Veronika Mahmurova, I'm a beginner writer, I live in Estonia, Tallinn. I decided to write my first book at the age of 21, as I always dreamed about it and wanted people all over the world to read my work. I wrote my first novel when I was in America, when I studied on screenwriting program. Also I love to write about love story, so I decided to create my characters to describe my vision of what a love story could be. My book is about young writer Jennifer whose dream is to find a mutual love, also about her new life, and about how life could change and how suddenly dreams could come true. I believe in destiny, so therefore my book shows how through time could connect two people even if circumstances did not allow them to be together. I hope you enjoy reading my novel.
