<p> About the Author</p><p>**Kera Yaka** doesn't just write about highland life—he lives it every day. Born and raised in the mountains of Enga Province, Papua New Guinea, he carries the ancient storytelling gift of his ancestors while navigating the modern world with university education and a clear eye for truth.</p><p>His writing goes deep into human experience because it comes from real places—where old wisdom meets new struggles, where traditional culture meets modern dreams in moments of beauty and pain. As someone who has lived highland life, Yaka shows what others cannot see: the true heart of rural PNG, where every emotion runs as deep as mountain valleys and reaches as high as the peaks.</p><p>Through novels like *Natural Beauties on Sunday's Local Rugby Match*, he offers something rare in our modern world—real access to Papua New Guinea's highland communities, where truth is stranger and more beautiful than any fiction, and where every story bridges what was, what is, and what might yet be.</p><p>He writes not as an outsider looking in, but as someone brave enough to share the tender places, broken dreams, and stubborn hope that keeps highland hearts beating against all odds.</p><p>**Connect with the Author:**  <br>Email: kerayaka05@gmail.com  <br>Phone/WhatsApp: +675 7052 9082  <br>Facebook: Posinmiok Westernwanyo<br> </p>
