This venture, guided by faith, is part of the fulfillment of a dream.
During my career as an administrator at the University of California, Berkeley, I wrote and published professional journal articles - even won first prize for one of them. But my creative writing was only shared with my family and close friends.
It wasn't until I retired early in 2003 that I decided to make writing my profession. They say: "Do what you love and success will follow." I'm doing what I love with good results. I won first prize in a novel writing contest in 2008 and, in November 2009, I had a short story published in the San Francisco Chronicle. My third novel is being published in December 2010.
