I consider myself a global citizen and always include an array of international characters and languages in my stories. I like the idea of humanity moving toward a common goal, but maintaining our clever and unique identities. I've lived so many places around the world, now I only wish that I could explore the galaxy, so, I write science fiction novels. I have lived abroad for over twenty years and have picked up degrees along the way in anthropology, East Asian Studies, East Asian Art and applied linguistics from universities all over the world. My favorite cities, where I wish I could be all at once; London, Berlin, Stockholm, New Orleans, Shanghai, and Los Angeles.
