Cooking and Writing

Currently I am writing an adventure children's series for my son and hope to publish or win some contests. I also have two other books I am outlining about Greek mythology and a Science fiction on AI. One day I will put together a cookbook as well. I spend a good amount of time in the kitchen cooking for family and i really do enjoy the happy faces and relaxed happy smiles i see when they eat. I love looking for new recipes and experimenting with fruits in them, something about fruit in meals that changes everything and gives it always that certain something it was missing.
