Fyi miss, the article 'a' and taglish are both adjectives that modify or describe the noun in your statement while 'stories' in plural form is the noun...example: she is a Filipino author... (article a and filipino are both adjectives or modifiers) thus the noun is author... so your statement is wrong. Try to go over or review grammar rules and the parts of speech for more info
About the word converse, yes that word is existing, it is a verb or action word which is synonym to talk or chat...then you were asking about he's or she's... don't be confused because they could be the contracted forms for she has/she is and he has/he is... depends on the usage, and in the story that you read, 'she's (she has) was used properly....hope this could help
