I was a journalist for 12 years, when people still read daily newspapers. Later, I went corporate, but never lost the love of words. I remain an avid reader and writer.

In recent years, my writing has been only for myself. This book - Ride It Like A Lady: Letters to Emi - was written only for my just born niece, Emi. I couldn't have written it so personally, so honestly, if I'd considered what other people would think of it. It is meant for her.
