Why did you pursue writing?
Writing is the most incredible way to embark a journey of
mind, to channel unspoken emotions, to discover wonders in unknown world, and
to feel the joy and pride of creativity.
What inspired your book?
It all started off with my original interest in the Korean
War itself. Then it became personal when I was researching my family history
and discovered that a female relative had participated in the conflict. From
there on, the basic foundations of the plot and the characters folded together
with each extra thought added into it.
How long have you been publishing your work?
The Dance of the Spirits is my debut novel. It was first published in the September
of 2013.
What’s your writing environment like?
Asides from my laptop, piles of books on the dining table
improvised as a large desk and as well as two mugs - one for tea and the other
for coffee - that are almost always being refilled.
What projects are you currently working on?
Promoting The Dance of the Spirits and researching for my
second book, while I still has to support my family as usual without change.
