AUTHOR
“au’thör, n. from augere, to cause to grow, increase
1. One who produces, creates, or brings into being;
2. The beginner, former or first mover of anything, as in one who writes a book or whose occupation is to compose and write books.”
I grew up in Wahiawa and ever since I can remember, I dreamed of being an author. I spent weekends in our local library which was a wooden portable structure. Boards creaked as I browsed along the shelves. But the books transported me to yesterday, the future and worlds I could only imagine. Today my love of books, libraries and bookstores continues.
My mother remarked that the end of my nose was a book. She'd tell me to go to sleep. So after I turned off the lights, I read beneath my covers with a flashlight. How could I sleep if the story was exciting?
And so my goal as an author is simple:
To write stories that don’t stumble in the beginning, sag in the middle or crumble at the end.
Stories that you, the reader, will enjoy reading!
