Full-time Novelist Low Kay Hwa Introduces His Ninth Novel


Full-time Novelist Low Kay Hwa Introduces His Ninth Novel
n  Youngest full-time novelist published his first novel at the age of 18.
n  Ninth Novel, For That Day, focuses on two cancer-stricken teenagers and their differing perspectives on their prognoses.

    SINGAPORE, 2nd Aug 2011                                                                                              For Immediate Release

One of the youngest full-time novelists in Singapore, Low Kay Hwa, has launched his ninth novel titled For That Day. The novel is about two cancer-stricken teenagers, and their differing perspectives on their prognoses.  Jun Hao has leukeamia. Yvonne has metastatic brain cancer since she was twelve, and has beaten the odds as hospice service discharged her twice. As they meet, Yvonne inspires Jun Hao with a positive outlook of life while learning more about herself in the process.
Kay Hwa has done extensive research for this novel to ensure that all information is correct. During his field research, he talked to doctors and nurses from National Cancer Centre Singapore in Singapore General Hospital, Viva-University Children’s Cancer Centre in National University Hospital and HCA Hospice Care.  In addition, he interviewed teachers, students, cancer patients and children of cancer patients.  
Kay Hwa said, ‘The initial idea is about how a change in mindset can change many things or even create miracles. However, as I delved deeper into the subject, I changed the direction of the novel while maintaining the core of the plot.  During a meet-the-author session in Broadrick Secondary School, a reader told me how happy she was when her strict mother was not home for days. She was then ten years old. It turned out that her mother had died of cancer, and her father dared not tell her the truth nor bring her to the funeral. Now, she regrets that short burst of happiness.’
Kay Hwa wrote and published his first novel, Destiny’s Cries, in 2004. Less than ten copies of the book were sold within six months upon publication. Though discouraged, he continued writing and uploaded all the chapters of the second novel he had written, I Believe You, on the Internet. People began to take notice of his writing and bought his novels.  In 2007, Kay Hwa started Goody Books and incorporated it as a company in 2010. 
As of 2011, he has written nine novels and sold over 33,000 copies of his books. He was featured in several local newspapers and in one Malaysian newspaper. He has over 110,000 fans on his Facebook fanpage and over 7,000 double opt-in subscribers.
Since becoming a full-time novelist, he has been to many schools to give inspirational talks to students, from assembly talks to library talks.
For that Day is now available in all major bookstores. It is priced at $16.90.
