About me

Everyone has something to share. Maybe it's a review of a great movie that slipped under the radar. Maybe it's advice on how to shop with a toddler in tow, or the experience learned through years of throwing children's birthday parties.

Whatever I experience in life becomes a lesson learned. Some of my experiences are from trial and error, others have been learned in books and classes. Writing online is an opportunity to share my experiences with others.

When writing at Helium, I regularly contribute to a variety of channels. I have participated in various writing contests and have sold articles through Helium's Marketplace and Stock Content programs.

I am also a member of Helium's Editorial Advisory Board and participate as the Channel Manager for both the Board Games and Card Games subchannels in Hobbies and Games.

For more information about my freelance writing outside of Helium, please visit my personal blog (www.susanquilty.com). In addition to freelance writing, my career background includes computer systems administration working in Unix, Windows, and Novell environments.

Please feel free to contact me with questions or comments. I will respond as quickly as possible. You can also follow me on Twitter @SusanQuilty

This is no surprise as the Author's Note at the beginning of the book claims that this is a story that will make you believe in god. The immediate question then becomes, how does a story about a shipwrecked boy trapped on a lifeboat with a hyena, an orangutan, a zebra, and a Bengal tiger attempt to make the reader believe in god? The main character, Pi Patel, is the son of a zookeeper who runs a small zoo in India. Despite his family's ideas of modern secularism, Pi is drawn to religion. In his adolescence he adopts ...
