    Book Enthusiast by blood. Poet by passion. Writer by heart.Conrad Franco, Jr. is a Filipino author and a graduate of Bachelor of Arts in English. He is passionate in reading and writing poetry and prose on a number of genres. In college, he got a chance to read, watch, dramatize, reflect, critique and writedifferent literary pieces. This time, he wanted to share his very own literary works through his books.A Book Enthusiast.The blood of being a prolific reader (and a passionate reviewer) barely runs in his veins. Aside from physical books, it is also challenging for him to read ebooks or listen to audiobooks. It is a pleasure for him to review books he has enjoyed reading or listening to contribute to the self-publishing community.A Poet.He loves playing with words in rhythm and rhyme and expressing his thoughts in meaningful lines. Thus, his passion for poetry is depicted in his poems in an acrostic, alliteration, alliterostic (his own coined word which is a combination of alliteration and acrostic), couplet, free verse, haiku and rhyme.A Writer.It is always his desire to express his heart in written words. His appetite for writing had brought him to publish eight books in one year (July 27, 2017 to July 27, 2018) for both fiction and non-fiction. The number will definitely grow soon as he won't stop doing his passion. His books are available in digital format (and print version soon) in online stores worldwide........."To write is to unlock one's heart, mind and soul." - Conrad Franco, Jr."To publish is to share one's heart, mind and soul." - Conrad Franco, Jr.#SmartAuthor#wisewords
