"I write because it fulfills a longing to put thoughts and feelings to paper. When something grabs me on the news like female circumcision on young girls, then I need to write about it. I can't sit still until the story unfolds and is told from my perspective. Whatever touches me: abortion, genocide, abuse of children and the elderly, abuse of wives and girlfriends, abuse of animals, These are things that truly stir an emotion that sends me to find paper and pen."
I am a Virtual Assistant for authors.
