About the author

Born and raised in Southeast Asia, I have lived in four different countries and three different states. I have an M.A. in Philosophy and am an award winning author of science fiction and fantasy.

I adore reading. But only good books.

I like cooking for people that I love. Sometimes I like doing yoga. I used to crochet, but I've kind of given up on it (my 10-year-old niece is already way better than I'll ever be). I am learning German and Latin as my 3rd and 4th languages.

Solid advice!

This is a great quick read for amateur writers who need quick tips or ideas for their characters. She goes over a couple of mental illness topics along with others, and gives a quick run down of do's and don'ts in an easy to understand non-intimidating way.
