#Weekendreading..

"I'm very impressed with this authors ability to weave so many elements into an outstanding story. By far one of the best books I've read by an indie author. Quite frankly I was speechless at the conclusion of the story."

Book info..

Over the past few months I've received requests from readers in the Philippines, South Korea and Thailand; wanting to know where they may purchase my books. As of now kindle books aren't available in those countries. I'm hoping that my move to Apple and a few other online bookstores will help me reach a wider audience.

My Heart in Seoul..

"Summer Night, Riverside" Sara Teasdale...

"In the wild soft summer darkness 
How many and many a night we two together 
Sat in the park and watched the Hudson 
Wearing her lights like golden spangles 
Glinting on black satin. 
The rail along the curving pathway 
Was low in a happy place to let us cross, 
And down the hill a tree that dripped with bloom 
Sheltered us, 
While your kisses and the flowers, 
Falling, falling, 
Tangled in my hair.... 

The frail white stars moved slowly over the sky. "

Ansel Adams...

I recently visited the Fenimore Art Museum and was truly fascinated with the work of photographer Ansel Adams. Check out the video below that features some of his most famous photographs. 

Brooklyn's Song is a finalist in the "5th Annual Swirl Awards"..

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I'm very proud of this story and I couldn't be happier with the final product.  Thanks to all of the authors, bloggers and readers for their support.

"The Great Wall" controversy...

Some people are upset that Matt Damon is staring in the film "The Great Wall." Nothing against Matt, but why couldn't they find an Asian actor for the part? If the movie makers would like some recommendations here are a few..Chen Kun, Eddie Peng, Joe Cheng and Wu Chun.

The Butterfly Conservatory..

Here's a short clip of a beautiful blue butterfly I spotted at the conservatory.
