I was a high school student at the time and writing a xianxia story on a Chinese online literature website. Due to the story’s popularity, I was contacted by a publishing company for a publishing contract. That’s how I got my job as an author.

    I was looking for a video game controller and a school in China accidentally posted their ad for an english teacher in the for sale video game section of craigslist.

    I responded to the ad and told them I could teach English, and they invited me to China, where I taught for many years.

        haha, I wondered how they made the mistake, but then I met these guys and they were so consistently impaired on one substance or another that it’s amazing they posted the ad to Craigslist at all.
