I was inspired by films and the books I read as a child. Arthurian Legend, Greek and Roman history.

As strange as it may look, my story was inspired on a song that I heard. :p

I have my sister to thank for. She introduced me to books at a very early age. It was her way of instilling the reading habit. She felt that I need to learn to read in order to read to learn. How wise of her! I grew up with a deep passion for books and tried to read as much as I could then. Even when work commitments take up most of my time, I try to read a page or two every night before going to bed. The reading and writing skills are linked. Those who read a lot tend to pick up a lot of words and phrases and use these words and phrases in their writing. It's like putting what we learn into practice.
