ANNA LEAH LUNA-RAVEN: A Story of Confidence, Resilience, and Passion
- Kathrina Faith S. Beo

“ I want to be my readers’ secret best friend, one they can run to and not feel embarrassed. I want them to know that they can come to me (or my book) anytime they want to have a conversation about what they think and how they feel – even those that others consider taboo. ”
Anna Leah Luna- Raven
The Author

“I pray a lot. I am Catholic, but by no means perfect, so I need a lot of guidance from God. I guess it’s hard starting something first, but once I get into it, I feel like doing more.”
The Book
“I wrote Conversations (I Never Had) With Luna mainly for middle-aged women. They may have kids of their own, or not necessarily, but are titas to their family or friends’ kids. They like going out now and again, but like alone time too. Their clubs now include jogging and working out club, parent-teacher club, pastry and cake-making club, craft club, among others, instead of hanging out at bars and dance clubs. They most likely keep a calendar for all their family and social events, and a journal too, giving them a sense or semblance of an organised life.”
“This book is for someone who loves life but is confused sometimes by it and needs validation and direction. They may be in or looking for a relationship or looking for a change. These are women trying to either find or stay true to their identity, have a child-like way of seeing the world (can be naïve and vulnerable like a child), but always take it all in and do what needs to be done."
“It’s different because I am different. And I am offering a part of myself with my book.”
On Success and Overcoming the Fear of Failure
“I am proud of the person I am today, because I am now doing what I love most – writing. Not everybody, I guess, has the opportunity to do this. I am lucky because I come from and live in a very multicultural country where there’s freedom of expression, where everyone is acknowledged and accepted, whoever you are or whatever it is that you do.”

More about Anna

“Keep at it! If you don’t feel like you are getting anywhere yet, just keep going. As they say, it is always darkest before the dawn. You will go through difficult days, but you will overcome them if you believe in yourself and your capacity and capability to get things done. One day, you will thank yourself for not giving up.”
