Goodreads asked Astra Crompton:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Astra Crompton Exploring far off places and reminding myself that my point of view is only one of a vast myriad of experiences. Through my stories, I can examine different cultural mores, have adventures and experience terrors, fall in love, live and lose--all in the span of a project. In the discovery, I hope to bring back stories so that some essence of what I've witnessed can be shared with the reader.
