About Me

My photo
Grace D. Chong
Philippines
I am a published author of over 70 books as of 2026 (for both adults and children), and an unpublished author of another 70, in various stages of writing and self-editing. Since I write more than I do anything else anyway, my sons talked me into blogging.Every four days, or less, I post a blog. I haven't lost my rhythm yet--not since I started this page in 2006. Why do I write? Well, why do I breathe?
