I consider myself an "honorary native" of California as I have lived here since I was two years old. When not pursuing my passion of writing (I am currently working on my second novel), I work as an accounting controller. For anybody who thinks accounting is boring, I can dispel that myth in a few words: I recently returned from working for a software company located in Dublin, Ireland. It was not all work; I spent as much time as possible touring the beautiful Irish countryside.
