By the time I was 12, the 1992-95 war of aggression started and we found refuge in the UK; hence, I grew up in the UK.I have a BA (Hons) in Economics and MSc in Voluntary Action Management. I am convinced that the secret to a better system is in this sector, which people have created out of sheer need. I hope to work on decoding the sector so that we can figure out this major clue that could help the sector and all of us. I know that’s a wild idea, I’ve been told that ever since I was at uni studying Economics, but I just feel it in my bones and I have a logical explanation for those feelings.Until then, I am involved with the sector as an activist, i.e. I work as a humanitarian and lobbyist who listens really well when people complain about all sorts of stuff. You can find me attending all kinds of protests and demonstrations, moving about quietly, just listening and making notes. Hence, I am a big believer in democracy, though I’m not too sure about the ‘representative democracy’ thingy we’ve got going on. However, this work has enabled me to meet some of the most amazing people. Those individuals inspire the characters in my books, so I dare you to find a fault in my characters and dialogue.I firmly believe that writing is a superpower – only humans can communicate that way. You will not find your cat writing a strongly worded letter to your dog or fish. However, I am passionate about all arts especially (of course) anything book-related, plus painting, dance, movies and music.For more info, please visit my website: www.meliha.webador.co.ukview less
