| Introduction | I'm an actor and writer currently living in the Bay Area. My book The Pursuit of Acting; Working Actors Share Their Experience and Advice was published to help student actors. I'm an alumni of University of California, Irvine in Theatre and L.A. City College Acting Academy. While I was acting, I was also writing. Writing stories was a passion of mine, even though I always thought of myself as an actor first. I kept on writing but never thought of it as anything other than a fun hobby. Then, the first book proposal I ever submitted got me a call from a publisher within a week offering a contract. That was for the Pursuit of Acting. So, I thought perhaps there is something to this writing thing. Creativity is my truth, and all I can say is it feels so good each day to live my truth. |

I could go on, but more writing is required. |

Describe the sound of a moist waffle falling onto a hot griddle.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, and then peaceful silence. But look - a child laughs in delight as she quickly spreads butter and pure golden maple syrup on top. Now - eat!
