Senjakala novel is my second book. My first book is titled Lidah. Lidah is compilation of 14 short stories. I hope my second book will have good selling. I have sold 30 Senjakala books in two months to my friends all over Indonesia. That means most of readers in Indonesia love novel more than short stories.
Lily is the main character of Senjakala novel. She was a young and idealis journalist. She moved to Bali and found a lot of mysterious things there. A 11 years old boy was dissapeared without any clues. And her sister fell so distraught of the lost. Lily then met Cakra, a balinese famous sculptor. They began to love each other.

Writing is celebration
Being a writer is not quite easy. Sometimes I think this job doesn't have any future. This job doesn't give much money. Sometimes I feel a bit desperate. The book market is really mysterious. What kind of book will become best seller in the book stores? Noone can really predict that.
Now, I promise to my self to stop thinking about the result of writing, but celebrate its process. Some people even say writing is a kind of therapy. So, I write novels, short stories and so on and enjoy every single process. I am sure I will write good novel and short stories and I hope that readers will love them

Comparing Bali with Jakarta
After living for seven years in Jakarta, I moved to Bali about one year ago. I came back to my home town. It was fun, of course, because I would met with my family here, in Bali.
Now, It's almost a year I'm in Bali. Life is just much easier here. I drive my car to book shop, to supermarket, to Disa's school and to my office, Primagama English. It's really fun to have the ability exploring the city by yourself. I don't have to wait until weekend to go whereever I want. I don't have to deal with a terrible traffic jam like I was always facing in Jakarta. I want to live here in Bali, in Denpasar, exactly, much much longer and even my whole life. Here, I can easily visit my mother and my father and hang out with my sibling dan his children. Disa look so happy too to hang out with them. I wish I will live here forever
