Smashwords Interview

Why do you write?
I read and learn much from authors around the world, mostly from the United States and Europe. Thus I write to share knowledge.

This must be special for me because I do remember the title. It was a wannabe novel titled "Mother's Tears". I was in my early teens and I was inspired by the then-popular Taiwanese love tales. Sadly, I did not complete that planned tear-jerker. :-(
