Avia 
Barricades 
Based on a True Story

This story unfolds on campus during an autumn university sojourn. An interesting array of characters unveil the barricades that need dismantling when students face a culture clash, specifically socio-religious-cultural barriers encountered by Muslim and non-Muslim communities. An in-house dormitory assault results in Muslims becoming the prime suspects. This contemporary and evocative piece of writing is based on true characters and a real-life experience undergone at a country university in Australia.

Mengenai Pengarang

Avia is my nom de plume. During extensive travel in Australia, Fiji, Philippines, Vanuatu, Hong Kong, Europe, UK, Canada, and America during the late 1980s and 1990s, I enjoyed many exciting, memorable experiences. Despite obstacles faced at university, I managed to graduate in March 2007 with an international economy major. Interested in music, art, and writing, I studied writing with a journalist at night school.
