Meet the Author - Wena Poon

Yesterday, I had attended my first ever "Meet the Author" session at the Belle Body n Mind Spa at Orchard Grand Court, Killiney Road.

Wena Poon
, is the author of "Lions in Winter", which is one of the selected short stories published in the book "Home and Away" published by the National Library Board as part of READ!Singapore 08. In person, Wena was pleasant and witty and spoke with a American accent having lived in the San Francisco for many years. She shared her experiences as a writer and her passion for writing. She pointed out that to write, you have fall in love with reading first! As a young girl, she loved Enid Blyton books. She also mentioned one of her favourite series "Chronicles of Narnia" which left a deep impression on her.
