What My Authors Say“A heart-felt, wise, honest, and tender book, The Cappuccino Chronicles offers a vision of lives well-led and of love through the years. This poignant story will move and enchant you and maybe even disturb you in the best way. Beyond inspiring.”
“The OAO team led by Pashmina P. is such a wonderful place for any author to hang their hat. The whole team is always there for you when you need them, and I feel like the OAO is both a welcoming community and a home for authors. Each team member brings their expertise to the table, and this promotes teamwork and collaboration.
I want to say thank you so much to my “sistah” Pashmina P. for holding my hand every step of the way. It’s been five long years and she has helped me to cross the threshold. Family for life! I am also indebted to the Senior Project Manager of the OAO and my lead literary advisor for the compilation of my book. Thank you so much, OAO team, for your love and expertise and for helping me to make my dream of becoming an author come true!”
I have had a love for books, both reading and writing, all my life! At age three and up I kept my mom and older siblings busy taking me back and forth to the library to check out books to read. As a child I would write stories constantly, as an adult I wrote articles for magazines and it was so much fun to see my work in print, with the hope that even one person would enjoy what they read and learn something that could light their imagination, or even, change their life.
Enter my fifties! When would I write and publish my first book? My fifty’s bucket list was being ticked every year as I climbed to sixty but this was one item amongst a few left to complete. The thing was, I had no idea how to publish a book, or even, how to get started.
A charity fashion show would lead to an enjoyable encounter with the very vibrant author of The Cappuccino Chronicles, Pashmina Pash. Meeting a published author to me is like meeting a famous actor or a rockstar, I was awestruck and couldn’t wait to order her trilogy. This brief encounter lead to a friendship and then learning more about the OAO (Online Authors Office). At last, there was guidance and support, a group of experienced writers, editors and a legal team to guide you through the steps to producing a book worthy to be on the shelves of my favorite bookstore.
I’ve so enjoyed working with this team and am embracing the process as I dream of writing my next endeavor. I’m excited to be part of the Master Elite Program and to continue this learning process, all while opening my imagination to others who also have a love of reading!
Why my Book: “Seva, The Art of Hospitality” is my new business card?
It was during the pandemic that I reached out to Pash, aware of her professionalism, I knew I could rely on her counsel.
Besides imparting structure and instruction about ‘mapping’ she reiterated that my book would eventually be my new business card, bringing in fresh opportunities.
On my travels across Europe, promoting my book on hospitality, I was warmly ‘received’ an inherent of hospitality) in many places. This furnished me with a sense of confidence and pride.
My dreams of being an author and sharing my story to engage, empower and inspire others would not have been complete without Pash’s support in releasing my book out into the world.
