Smashwords Interview

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in Israel. Israel is a melting pot of people from all over the world. Being exposed to many languages, culture and music instilled in me the love for other cultures. I love writing about different characters representing different cultures. I write about the amazing life I had, growing up in a newly born state. The camaraderie, the care for one another was one of a kind. I am fascinated by stories of wars and struggle and I like to ask a lot of questions. :-) I incorporate those stories in my books.
When did you first start writing?
Back in 2006. But I wrote poetry since I was 14.
