I love to read. I read all kinds of books, mostly for entertainment. I hated non-fiction because I wanted to be entertained, not bored to death. Unfortunately, nowadays, I read more non-fiction than I do anything else, not because I want to be bored but because I write fiction, and the only way to get... Continue Reading →
The Trưng Sisters (Part 1)
Girls born into this century are so lucky. Not only are we able to go to school, we are also able to lead in many things, including business, politics, sports and the sciences. Even so, we still have quite a ways to go before we can be seen as equal to the guys---equal enough in... Continue Reading →
I Ching Sphere 4: Eye of the Maelstrom
I was sitting at a restaurant this afternoon and looking out the window at the world that was drizzly and grey, and I was thinking to myself how lucky I was to be living at this moment in the history of mankind.

I Ching Sphere 2: Zeroes and Ones
Zero We have to start somewhere, and zero is the perfect starting point. Since I have that dreaded mathephobia disease, I am rather handicapped and cannot calculate huge numbers in a multitude of dimensions, I need to use a computer to do the grunt work. Now, I may be blonde, but I'm no dummy.... Continue Reading →
I Ching Sphere 1: I Suck at Math
