Castle of Doom and Sarina Hossain
May 21, 2014 00:00:00
We are delighted at the news item published in the Financial Express on Sunday that a Bangladeshi child prodigy recently got one of her fiction stories published by a British publishing house, Olympia Publishers. Perhaps, Sarina Hossain is now the junior most author in the world who composed Castle of Doom at the age of eight only.
To be selected for publication, firstly, Sarina sent the scanned copy to the giant publisher and later, as per their demand, sent original handwritten manuscript to them and finally the publisher talked to the little girl over phone. Being satisfied they sent a deed of agreement for publication of the book. In a word, after thorough scrutiny the publisher decided to publish her writing.
Sarina now plans to write the series of Castle of Doom up to X, and publish those by the same publisher in London. The newly published horror fiction Castle of Doom has drawn worldwide attention. Sarina has already written more than 10 works of fiction and composed over 400 rhymes. Sarina Hossain is now studying in Grade IV in the Canadian International School in Dhaka. She has completed Castle of Doom II- Your Brain is My Birth Stone. Simultaneously, she is writing three fictions namely The Castle of Doom III-the Spirit of Mummification, Ghost freak Adventure, and Enemy.
We pray for Sarina's continued progress.
