About this author

edit data

Personally, I am Malaysian-born, of Portuguese Eurasian descent … a true child of the global South. In the past, I have run my own IT consultancy business, bookshop, gym, swimming pool business and martial arts school.

So far in my life, I have been a corporate trainer, lecturer, satirist, martial arts instructor, project manager, political essayist, small business owner and am now proud to call myself an author. Together with my husband, we have lived and worked in Europe, Asia, Australia and North America. We adore our two children and tolerate as necessary evils our wilful dogs and grumpy, fur-shedding cats.

Professionally, I’m an author of science-fiction and SF&F romance. You can find out details of all my releases at http://www.ksau ...more

May I say what an utter UTTER delight it is to come across someone in psychology who actually seems to like and respect animals! I have always regarded our history (whether economic or social) to be incredibly speciesist and unbelievably arrogant abo...more

Ultimately unsatisfying Considering that Michael Lewis is the author of "The Big Short", I had high hopes for "Boomerang". I'm sorry to say I was disappointed. Because the European financial crisis, as we know it, began in Iceland, it seems initially l...more
