We talked about her background, her move from India to the United States, and how she managed to land a job at one of the 5 big publishing houses.

It's not very often that I get an opportunity to speak to a non-fiction author, but when I had the chance to talk to D M Batten, I jumped at the chance Her autobiography is particularly significant as it explores open-mindedness, and non-traditional love, and caters to various niches such as coming-of-age, LGBTQIA+, twin flames, spiritualists, and those who dedicate themselves to serving God, regardless of their background or the trials they encounter in life. As a college Professor and a PhD Candidate, Dolores has triumphed over seemingly insurmountable obstacles and been blessed with the ability to empathize with people from all walks of life, embracing diversity. "I have learned how to apply my knowledge by experiencing life firsthand, rather than merely preaching about it. With a personal objective to align my perspective with a higher power, I am confident that this book accomplishes that goal, gradually guiding readers through the many challenges life presents and offering insights on viewing them through the lens of unconditional love." This is the wonderful D. M. Battern Connect with Dolores on Instagram: @D.M. Batten
