• 1. When and why did you develop an interest in your chosen field?

  I developed an interest in writing at a very early age. I am a very creative person and always felt creative writing was a vehicle that allowed me to express myself. As I began to write, I understood the importance of method, grammar and editing. As I grew as a writer, I began to develop these skills, which in turn strengthened my writing skills. I took a position in China, teaching English at the largest high school in the Liaoning province and soon, I developed the program for the school that they still use to this very day. My first book, "The Planet" was published a couple of years back and since then, I have written 5 more manuscripts, that are set to be published. I believe that teaching helps me grow, while I am helping others and this is a very precious gift that I have been given.
