Thus, she published her second book in a different genre –supernatural fiction. ‘The Promise’ came out in 2018, and even though it was a short story, it was equally liked by the readers, if not more than ‘Chasing Dreams.’ ‘The Promise’ is about a little boy who drowned in the dark abyss of depression due to his grandfather’s death.
