I have no formal education as a writer, the fact that my first book was traditionaly published was more accident than intended outcome. The reason i wrote it was because i found myself in a situation where i said over and over, "Nobody would believe this." I kept a diary of what i saw and heard every day and in jest would say to the people around me, "I'm gonna write a book about this some day." So i did. One of the reasons i started in the first place was because i witnessed and participated in what felt to me like something that couldn't happen in the year two thousand and fifteen in one of the most advanced countries on the planet, not in some sweat shop in a third world country where children work fifteen hours a day for the equivelant of one dollar american.
