About four years ago, thanks mainly to the encouragement from my cousin Aleyah, writing became my “thing.” True, thanks to my dad, reading had been my thing for as long as I can remember: lots of reading, of lots of different books. So, starting four years ago, over the course of the next three years, I wrote two books. Then last year, I wrote Reversed. Reversed is a novella that has been accepted for publication and is undergoing revision. Reversed is a prequel to The GIVID. I started writing The GIVID in the middle of December of 2020 and finished it in February of 2021. My next book, Mole, is due for completion and publication in 2022. Also, I’ve been writing poems occasionally for the past four years. A collection of my poems is also scheduled for completion and publication in 2022 (“Sosi’s Poems: a Collection”).

I enjoy singing. I had my first significant vocal performance when I was seven years old before a capacity audience at a Christmas concert at the prestigious Strathmore Hall in Bethesda, Maryland. At the age of 8, I co-produced my Dad’s vocal/piano album, “Sosi’s Daddy.” The album is entitled that only because I was the one who bugged my Dad into recording it. I write music. I dabble on the piano, guitar, and violin. I love to draw. I have drawn the cover for all of my books to date. I have won awards in various sports competitions: swimming, ice skating, and Tae Kwon Do. I hold the rank of Brown Belt in Tae Kwon Do. I was a student at Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart, in Bethesda, Maryland, for Grades 1 through 5. While there, I received numerous academic awards.
