Growing up, kids are asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” It’s a common question that our elders ask us, and eventually, we ask ourselves. One teen took the road less traveled, a niche that’s rough and can be derailing, yet he stood by it.
Juaquin Sombito, a Bacolodnon, started writing his debut novel at the age of 14, titled ‘Something Great.’
In a press release, he said, “I started writing the draft of my book after I was inspired by a novel about the reality of love.” He stated that his book captured him into creating his own masterpiece, and that started the blazing fire of passion in him.
“I was deeply fixated on how complicated love is, and yet people choose to play with it, so I started creating this notion that the only people who can win love are those who can withstand the attached pressure and responsibility.”
The book is currently in the making, but it will be published on the publishing platform Kindle Direct Publishing. “I am pleased to announce that my book is coming out this April, and I hope all of you can support me on this unbelievable journey that’s about to come,” the budding author said.
Something Great is all about Marshal Eliazar’s career takes off the moment he enters the architectural world. He is famous for his advocacy, Kathy’s, which gives free shelters to everyone who has experienced any kind of abuse. This year, Marshal finds another recipient of his free house mission, which leads him to meet Hope Martinez. Over time, their feelings become intertwined. Everything seems great until Lilith Lowen Love, Marshal’s old childhood friend, enters the picture.
When destiny puts you in the middle of working with a woman you think you’re falling in love with and the woman you once loved who needs fixing, what would you choose…sparked or rekindled?*
