I've worn too many hats: biochem engineer, bus girl, Cutco salesperson, genetic researcher, one-time curator of a shoe museum, physician, patient, potter, natural lover, world traveler, and writer. I'm struggling to distill chaos into a neat line.
Even though no character died from murder in my debut novel, The Moon Goddess's Smile, I'm so grateful for an author interview on a podcast about Murder and Mystery. You can click the link below to listen to the episode.

Do you know that May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month? Don’t feel guilty if you don't. Only after I posted my thoughts did I find out that the Trump administration had canceled the official designation for this month.

Thank you. I guess I will have to look into ways to import a few anteaters then, haha!
I wonder if the antbird eats fire ants. If yes, it will have a field day in my fire-ant-infested backyard in FL!
