I'm an aspiring author and screenwriter currently living in different parts of the world. I was one of the writers for MAS TV SHOW pilot, and an executive producer for a short film called "Dry on a Sunday." I'm also an award winner for The Lift-Off Global Network, Pinewood Studios Screenwriting contest where the pilot episode of "The Big Unchill" came in first place.

 

For the past 4 years, I've been travelling and writing about my experiences living with friends, family and even strangers. ​Learning about cultures, traditions, religions and even spirituality has given me perspective on many aspects of my life and a sense of 'the self.' I try to capture all these experiences in my writing and in the classroom as an educator.

 

The Foragers takes place in Japan, a place I visited and lived in for 3 months. I came to learn about the First Nations called Ainu. Not many people know about them, so I have mentioned them in this series. I've also been to South Korea and witnessed the harshness of the forced military service on boys once they come of age. I portray this through another one of my characters. The Kan was actually a sixth sense/intuition that martial artists practiced in Japanese history. 

The Deadly Mark takes place in England, another place I got to visit while studying Shakespeare at Oxford University. I visited many castles that I describe in my novel, my favorite being The Royal Pavilion.
