"Writing first began for me as a way to track my childhood. Then it became a way for me to meander through my memories of it, on that little sailboat. It also became a way for me to remember my father, who took me to all of those foreign ports. Writing and reading grounds me when there is no foundation beneath. When I am at anchor, the same prompts me to venture into untold places."
