Author:
My name is Lochana Radaliyagoda, I’m 17 years old and the author of Feel the Flame. As a dancing teacher my life is filled with bubbly little women, they often tell stories about their lives and various adventures they take part in, but as they get to that chapter that they are most passionate about, a glimmer in their eyes begins to shine. Feel the Flame was written to nurture that glimmer, to let it inspire others and bring together a community of people, young and wise, who now let their once little glimmer of passion and strength burn through them.
