As I write this blog entry (for this sorely neglected blog) Ebony Gate has been out in the world for just over two weeks. In those two weeks, I have traveled nearly the entire length of the west coast of the US, stretching from Seattle, WA and down to San Diego, CA.

A.B.C.
I'm not sure at what age I was that I learned the term ABC, or American Born Chinese, but I knew that it applied to me, a child of parents who had immigrated to the US from Taiwan. To me, growing up in a predominantly non-Asian environment, it meant that I was one of two … Continue reading A.B.C.

Legit credentials Back from Atlanta and had a blast at DragonCon last weekend! I've been to smaller cons before, but this was my first "big league" con and, wow, what an experience.

If you're here because you've been following my read-along for weeks and week, thank you very much! As I said last week, the experience of reading The Legend of the Condor Heroes was very gratifying. I'm also glad I got the chance to read it and share my experiences with my mom. For her it … Continue reading Stakes and Bones – Coming Soon!
