To me, much of my writing is about coming to terms with grief, and with a world we often can’t understand. In a sense, my writing is autobiographical, as it reflects my own gratifying, but at times, difficult journey of emotional and spiritual recovery that began when I finally admitted to myself I couldn't communicate and had to ask for help. On the long road of my journey, I slowly learned that, even when I don’t have answers, to strive to find forgiveness and self-worth, and to connect to the good and the beautiful in the world.

I therefore love books where the main characters struggle against inner and outer conflicts and try to do good.

I believe it is the writer's responsiblity to tell a good story and to show that life is worth living, in spite of all the horrors of the 20th century.

My favorite novel is Don Quixote.
