Book Haven discussion

Greetings all,

My name's Vinnie Apicella. I'm happy to be part of this group and appreciate the opportunities available to us here on Goodreads.

I'm a teacher, writer, and entrepreneur living in Beijing, China for the past several years. I'm originally from the US, in New York. I've been writing for more than 30 years in some form or another, but recently, I've become an official author self-publishing my first book, Escape from America: An Introspective Journey from America into China.

Thus far, it's been a busy but gratifying experience with all of the self-study involved and discovering all of these many outlets available to us, such as GR. Now that my book's gone "live" on several online shops, I've moved on to my marketing plan and trying to shift into "business" mode, so to speak. So far so good.

I do enjoy reading but will admit most of it comes from various online research or articles, and then industry-related materials. However, when personal time or travel presents itself I'll usually grab a traditional print book or use my e-reader.

Cheers guys, I look forward to interacting here in our group!
