Dear EriKaXD170,
Greetings from the United States! I hope that life for you is going well in Korea. Are you an artist? I like the artwork on this profile page.
Thank you for following me. I have now published six books (fiction, poetry, and literary criticism), and I'm working on a book of nature poems and an autobiography. I have a new fiction chapter book for middle school kids entitled The Passover Surprise that Fictive Press just published in March 2015. It is based on some problems that I had when I was young. However, I have given the main character help to solve any problems that I did not get as a girl.
I recently won first place in a poetry contest. I had been trying to get this poem about the Civil War in the United States in the 1860s published for 17 years, so this award felt good.
Best wishes to you for 2015! I hope that your own writing is going well. I'm glad that spring has finally come.
