Merry Christmas!

Change

It was time. I pulled off the helmet, removed the rebreather, and tilted my face skywards. Sarah did the same: the rain wetted her radiant face filled with wonder and joy and relief. The sudden fresh air was a delight.

Beside us the machine pulsed: red-red-red.

We clasped our right hands, held together in timeless solidarity, standing face to face. We raised our faces to the sky. The rain came down, bathed us, bathed the parched earth. It turned the sand dark, stained it thoroughly like dark blood.

We were goddesses ahead of time and beyond time. Jin would grow.

I can’t do this alone.

Reblogging it. Merry Christmas!

A Wolf's Tale

I can’t do this alone.

I think I have reached my proverbial limits when it comes to promotion and marketing my books. That includes the Rider Trilogy and the Jan Xu Adventures. The more I talk in on Twitter, the more indifference I get.

Oh yeah. Indifference. Apathy. The things that kill an author emotionally and psychologically.

So, I am tossing this out, into the Tumblr and WordPress wilderness, hoping my smoke signals are seen. Or, using LOTR imagery, lighting the fire and seeing it lit again and again and again…

Too Asian

JOYCE CHNG: TOO ASIAN!

Granted, I AM ASIAN.

Granted that reviewer might just be a troll…

BUT… this is the kind of shit POC authors have to face.

Interview with Joyce Chng

Turkce Bilimkurgu ve Fantastik

Dün Türkçe’sini yayınladığım söyleşinin bugün İngilizcesini yayınlıyorum.

I’ve read Joyce Chng’s book Of Oysters, Pearls And Magic and like it very much. When I saw Chng on Twitter asked for an interview. She was kind to accept and we talked about life, gender and wolves.

The Interview

• Of Oysters, Pearl and Magic describes a Chinese and East Asian culture. You are from Singapore and your culture plays an important role in Oysters, Pearl and Magic. For whom did you write these books? If it was for international audience, were you afraid of the reaction, or whether they’ll get it or not?

Joyce Chng: At first, I thought that I was writing for an international audience. But as I progressed and wrote…
