War, violence, religious fanatics have all but driven away any visions of what this country actually is. With
beautiful snow-capped mountains, spectacular desert landscapes and lush valleys, it is disheartening that people aren't able to experience the natural wonders which behold Afghanistan.
But this now war-torn country wasn't always as volatile. In fact, through the 1950s to the 1960s, Afghanistan was an increasingly progressive country. Unbelievable as it may sound now, women wore short skirts, had co-ed classes and were generally protected under law.

Check out my new series, Captive, based in Afghanistan's amazing wilderness.
Nora Jennings quit her job as a photographer for a small community newspaper to fulfill her dreams of traveling. First stop-Kashmir, the land renowned as heaven on Earth.
But dreams have a terrible habit of turning into a nightmare. And suddenly she finds herself bound and gagged in Afghanistan, ready to be wedded to Pashtun brute, Adam Afridi.
