I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I write books. My first young adult novel is titled: LEARNING TO SWIM. If you have a minute, check out my website at www.cherylklam.com. And if that doesn't tell you all you wanted to know about me....

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Condoleeza Rice, Golda Meier, Ghandi...HAH! Enough with the hilarity. Let's see...who would I like to meet? Who WOULD I like to meet? Let's start with the wife of Dog, the bounty hunter. I LOVE her. Style, moxie and a seeming ability to kick anyone's you know what. Who else? That would depend on when I'm meeting them and where. If I'm meeting them on a rainy night in a Paris cafe, I'm going to go with Daniel Craig, the guy who played James Bond. If it's a sunny afternoon in London, I'm going to go with J.K. Rowling where I will desperately attempt to get the scoop on the new Harry Potter book.

Calling all Y.A. Writers
