Raj Napal

Raj Napal was born in Port-Louis, Mauritius. He emigrated to Britain with his parents and siblings when he was eight years old. He was brought up in Cardiff in South Wales. Poetry was instilled in him while he lived in Wales.

He obtained a law degree from Leeds University in Yorkshire and was a criminal defense barrister in London in the 80s and 90s. In 1995, he came to Ontario, Canada with his then spouse where he continued to practice law.

In 2010, he commenced writing, but at that time, it was mostly poetry. In the last two years, his imagination took him into the strange world of the supernatural, horror and terror. He finds short stories particularly fascinating and “Dance with Terror’ (Xlibris Self-Published) is part of a collection of stories in that intriguing genre. Most of them were written in the last two years.

He continues to write poetry and recently self-published through Kindle, ‘Salt and Sugar’ a selection of poems about the human condition and emotions. He has plans to release through Kindle a horror story titled ‘A Sweet Gift.’ He has also ventured into the field of crime-thriller serializations and supernatural adventures. Some are nearly finished and others are ongoing projects. He recently wrote an adventure serialization for children called 'Napal's Adventures of Plato.

He has two children, Joshua, and Helena. They share his passion for reading and writing.

He hopes the readers on Kindle will find the stories he publishes there interesting and a rewarding experience.
