Writing Books
I am a bona fide wanderer. I have lived in fifty cities spread over seventeen countries on six continents. I grew up in one down, six generations in, and then I uprooted myself to see the world and let it prick and poke me, dazzle and develop me. It's a long road full of wondrous tales and fascinating characters filling notebooks and notebooks.
