Raj Napal was born in Port-Louis, Mauritius. He immigrated to Britain with his parents and siblings when he was eight years old. He was brought up in Cardiff in South Wales.  Poetry was instilled in him while he lived in Wales.

He obtained a law degree at Leeds University in Yorkshire and was a criminal defense barrister in London in the 80s and 90s. In 1995, he came to Ontario, Canada with his then spouse where he continued to practice law. 

In 2010, he commenced writing, but at that time it was mostly poetry. In the last two years, his imagination took him into the strange world of the supernatural, horror and terror. He finds short stories particularly fascinating and "Dancing with Terror' is part of a collection of stories in that intriguing genre. Most of them were written in the last two years. 

He continues to write poetry and hopes to publish a book of his poems one day. He has also ventured into the field of crime-thriller serializations and supernatural adventures. Some are nearly finished and others are ongoing projects. 

He has two children, Joshua, and Helena. Although divorced he and his ex-wife are best friends and share a passion for reading and writing.  
He hopes Wattpadders will find the stories he posts on that site interesting. Feedback from the readers would be greatly appreciated.
