What is the aim or goal of your writing: I write because I want to share and learn while engaging in the activity. I always have a lot of unwritten books bubbling at my surface and can't get them out fast enough! I very much enjoy the discipline, perseverance, and rewards of doing creative work. My interests are varied and I attribute my success to deeply loving what I do.
