What is the aim or goal of your writing: "The history of a people is a fascinating topic. The United States, Canada and China are fertile fields to cultivate. My focus is upon those forces which propel a nation to greatness. Politicians and generals represent those forces, but they can never reflect the fundamental power of changes and movements. I focus upon those hidden energies and their effects upon communities and nations."
