Short version: Dr. Eichin
Chang-Lim earned her Doctorate in Optometry, a Master of Science in
Microbiology, and a Master of Arts in Psychology. She is the mother of two
grown-up children, a wife, a semi-retired optometrist, and a
multi-award-winning author. The genres of her books include romantic fiction,
short stories, memoirs, self-help, and educational nonfiction.
Chang-Lim’s books depict the
intricacies of human relationships and the striving of the human spirit.
Ultimately, they evolve into inspirational tales that readers will find
multidimensional and thought-provoking.
When asked about her motivation to
be a writer, she replied, “Every human being is valuable; every soul is unique
and special. I write with my heart and soul. My mindset is that if my writing
can make a difference in even one person’s life, it’s all worth it, and that’s
what love is all about.”
Currently, she is collaborating
with an international psychologist and educator, Dr. Lora Erickson, to write a
three-book series, Talking about Adolescence.
Book 1: Anxiety, Depression, and
Adolescent Mental Health is coming soon.
Besides writing, Eichin is also
passionate about acting, photography, music, and dance acrobatics. She and her
husband live in Orange County, California, with their poodle mix named Gabby.

me more about your journey as an author, including the writing processes.
From her earliest
years, Eichin was drawn to the captivating biographies of famous historical
figures who had overcome arduous trials through the rich saga of their
narratives, each thread woven with resilience and triumph. She also enjoyed
reflecting on quotes that challenged her thinking and sparked her imagination,
igniting her curiosity and providing intellectual stimulation.
Even in her formative
years, when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, she answered without
hesitation: a writer. She wrote short stories and essays for youth publications
and was thrilled when they got published during elementary school. That fueled
her writer’s dream. But then, everything changed. In junior high, her
confidence was shattered when all her submissions were rejected. Concurrently,
her fascination with science emerged, guiding her toward academic exploration
in the science and health fields.
Years later, as a
practicing optometrist, Eichin realized that every patient had a unique story
to tell. Their eyes were windows into their souls, reflecting their experiences
and emotions. This awakening rekindled her latent passion for storytelling.
To Eichin, the mantle
of an author transcends mere words on a page; it embodies a profound commitment
to purposeful storytelling. “Writing is an art of meaningful sharing—of the
writer’s thoughts, heart, and soul—with readers. It is also an exercise in attentive
observation, a journey of curiosity and intensity,” she once articulated. With
this unwavering philosophy, she embarks on a literary voyage, crafting tales
that resonate with the essence of humanity.
