You need to consider going into writing fiction,’” he said in a recent interview. Her encouragement occurred after hearing a humorous radio commercial he had written. While they were living in the Bay Area’s Silicon Valley, Amooi said, Silvi Martin encouraged her husband to follow her footsteps and take creative writing courses at Stanford University. He attributes the pursuit to one person - his wife.


Over the last five years, the Rancho Penasquitos resident has written and self-published 15 romantic comedy novels.

After a successful career as a radio and wedding disc jockey, Rich Amooi turned to another livelihood.
