- my sister wrote a kids' book as part of her high-school creative writing course and everyone who read it loved it. (We are looking into having this published)

- my colleague and now co-author, Leila Heidari-Faroughi, found out about my interest in writing and expressed her own interest, then invited me to collaborate on a project idea she had been thinking about for a while
