After spending 39 years as an immigration officer, I retired in December 2011, and decided to write a book. I found my vast experience writing government memos worked against me. I also learned publishers want to hear from agents, and agents want to see work in a perfect format, which is different than government memos. I also learned both agents and publishers want authors to have a following. First time authors are not judged by the quality of their writing, but by the number of people who read their blogs.
I have hundreds of stories to share, so why not start putting some of them on a blog. As I learn how to blog, I will add photos and links to longer stories. My goal is to share the historical knowledge I have of immigration history, policy, laws, folklore, and humor. I hope others share my interest and will appreciate the stories I put on this blog.
