Junying Kirk
As an Indie author, I have published three novels on Amazon Kindle: The Same Moon, Trials of Life, and Land of Hope, a modern "Journey To The West" Trilogy. I have worked as an academic, researcher, teacher, cultural consultant and professional interpreter in the UK. I enjoy working, but writing is my passion. I regularly blog at www.junyingkirk.com where I share my love for books, photography, travels, fabulous food and other aspects of modern life.
