Mackenzie and Jeff Bezos (#2 in Forbes richest people in the world with a fortune of $ 104,4 billion) have been married to 24 for the year. Once, it was Spouse who pushed the idea of creating Amazon.com, telling about the heroes of her first novel, and Jeff decided to start e-commerce.
In 2005, Mackenzie released her first novel, Trial of Luther Albright (The Testing of Luther Albright), which a year later received an award American Book Awardtelling Forbes Russia. Her second novel "The Pitfalls" (Traps) came out eight years later and also became a bestseller.
Today, Mackenzie lives with her spouse in Seattle, has four children (three boys - the eldest is already at the university, and a girl from China, whom they adopted), and is also active in organizing Bystander Revolutionaimed at fighting bullying (aggressive prosecution of one of the team members). Forbes woman gathered her quotes.
Even before you meet meJeff read my resume. It was just that he was the first person to interview me (in 1992, FW) for a vacancy in a New York hedge fund.
My office was next door to histhat's why I heard his wonderful laugh all day. How could I not fall in love with him? After three months of dating, we had an engagement. After three months of engagement, we got married.
The Book of Luther Albright Trial I wrote for ten years, it took me a lot of tears and strength.
In life, of course, I was very lucky. I have wonderful parents who believed in my education and never doubted that I would become a writer. I have a husband whom I love.
Jeff is my complete opposite. He is very social - he likes to meet and communicate with people. And for me, cocktail parties are a solid hassle. Being able to quickly start a conversation is not my thing.
What are only educational techniques we have not tried with children. Mandarin lessons, Singaporean mathematical program, as well as all sorts of sports clubs and sections.
Characters of my heroes The books are not written off from people I personally know, but from friends of my friends.
I wrote my first book at six.. I wrote this book on the 142 page for a year and called it "Bookworm."
To princeton university I entered to study with Tony Morrison (FW: Editor and Professor, Nobel Prize in Literature 1993 of the Year).
If I do not write every daythen losing touch with my book. Heroes are becoming less real. But I have four children to take care of. To get everything done, I get up very early - in 4.30 or 5 in the morning.
I usually write twice a day. The first time - before the children wake up. Then I have breakfast with them and spend time with them. After that, they go to school, and I sit down at the book a second time.
Writing and motherhood - two completely different things, and I try to find a balance between them. When you write, for a long time nothing fails and therefore you can write as many times as you like. And motherhood is completely different. Children constantly demand urgent solutions for everyday small affairs.
I like to write in small rooms. no windows so nothing distracted. So, for several years I worked in the dressing rooms.
Who I just did not work: waitress, dishwasher, storekeeper, librarian, clerk, accountant, nanny and seller of clothes. But writing is the only thing I wanted to do. I don't even have any hobbies.
Bulling is the cause so much suffering. Reading articles about school shooting and suicides, I began to think: how can I influence changes in the culture of people? The worst thing is that bullying is now perceived as the norm.
