I have always loved writing, and composed my first poem when I was four years old. I always wrote in bed because I was not allowed to get up before 7:00 a.m. I kept a pen and paper by my bedside, and wrote every morning until the rest of the family woke up!
When I was older, my parents sent some of my poems in to our town's local newspaper. Luckily, they printed a few of them.
In college, I studied journalism and wanted to be a reporter. I wrote for several newspapers, but later changed careers when I was offered a teaching job in Taiwan.
After that, I taught English in many places: California, Guatemala, Vietnam and Hong Kong. However, I still loved writing.
When my daughter was two years old, I wanted to buy her a book about shapes she could find in Hong Kong, where we lived. As hard as I looked, I could only find books about shapes in America. So, I decided to write her a book, myself. This is how Round is a Mooncake started.
