I enrolled in an acting workshop and my first acting role was on the TV soap opera 'Melrose Place.'
I took up a sort of a hobby of just hanging around the local library. I'd pick out an author and I would read all their books.
Generally my typical books have lots of twists and turns a big surprise ending and then usually another surprise at the end and ideally, as in Garden of Beasts, we get to the very end and we find at the last few pages that there's yet another surprise.
