I am just a college student, who would of never thought that she would be writing just random thoughts or opinions.
It has just become a way of life for me to express myself through writing and it is GREAT!

The ones who read have read my highs and my lows in my life and I THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for taking time to read them

Thanks to those who read my pieces, as simple as they are :)

I am Zuzana, but I write under the pseudonym Maria Pelisek. You may know me as the author of the captivating book, "The Day I Packed for Heaven and When Death, Jesus, and I Met at the Crossroads."
I consider myself an ordinary girl, yet I have an extraordinary friend.
There was a time when I believed refusing chemotherapy and surviving was the most significant miracle of my life. But as I discovered, I was mistaken.
The true miracle lay in the empowering friendship that blossomed when I dedicated time to honestly knowing Him.
It all unfolded one serene Sunday afternoon. I earnestly implored God for a guiding light to conquer Death, and in a miraculous twist, He answered by presenting Himself as my guiding force.
Who would have thought that God is not just a distant idea, but a living presence among us?

I am an Irish writer and lecturer living in London who had my first work of fiction published in 2014. 'The Charlton Men', the first part of a trilogy set in South London, combines literary fiction with a love of football. Set in the historic surrounds of Greenwich and Charlton, the novel interweaves the rich heritage of the area's past with contemporary themes of social disenfranchisement and a search for meaning.

The book has done well so far in terms of sales and publicity but I am always keen to attract new readers. This platform is a showcase of some of my work, which I would rather share for free than sell on Kindle for example. I write not for profit but because of a love of stories and language, something that I have had all my life, from as early as I can remember.

Outside of writing and teaching I am interested in travel, music, film, football, craft beer, and photography. I also write articles for blogs, newspapers, and academic journals.
