I, Imelda Wei Ding Lo (Fortunus Games), asked Tejaswinee the following questions: What were you inspired by when you wrote your story for The Unconventional Courier, “Where Does The River Go?” What books and themes inspired you the most as a writer? You are a lawyer (as am I). Has your legal practice and studies influenced your approach to writing? If so, how? What kind of stories do you plan to write in the future? Will you be publishing any books?
