What is the aim or goal of your writing:
Contemporary Authors says, "I guess the geography of my life is importatnt to me. I lived in Australia, Singapore, and New Zealand before moving to the United States. I am still a Canadian citizen. This has given me a heightened awareness of the rest of the world and of my own isolation within it. It has also made me very aware of how people grow out of their backgrounds and cultures. I am very involved with the cultural relationship between the community and the arts and the whole field of personal growth and preventive mental health."
