Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a part of The Authors Porch. This magazine is a labor of love, inspired by my own journey as a writer. I remember those moments when I felt utterly alone in my writing pursuits, just like when I was far from home in Kuwait, with only an internet cafe called 'The Porch' to remind me of comfort.

For me, 'The Porch' has always symbolized a warm beacon, calling me back to where I belong. So, I created The Authors Porch with a simple purpose – to offer authors like you a place to call home in the vast world of literature. Here, we share, connect, and find solace in our shared passion.

I hope you'll take something meaningful from our magazine, and perhaps leave a piece of your own story behind. Remember, even when life throws its toughest challenges your way, 'The Porch' lights the way home. You're not alone on this journey, my friends. Until our paths cross again. - CJ
