About me

Born in the Philippines, Joan Inong moved to the United States with her family when she was six years old. To her, as to many other immigrants before and after her, America signified potential. She found a love for reading during her childhood, and avidly read books whether for pleasure or for academic reasons. Her favorite genres include, among others: mystery, race studies, reflections/autobiographical works, how-to, and classic fiction. Some favorites include classics such as "King Lear" and "A Passage to India," as well as regional novels such as the "Little House on the Prairie" books.

From time to time she is bitten by the creative bug after reading a how-to book, which explains her many hobbies. She enjoys painting, writing in calligraphy, crocheting and knitting, playing the piano, writing poems, cooking and baking.

She recently received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Chicago, majoring in English Language and Literature.
