Join me on the writing journey.

I’ll be scribbling here about writing my first novel, book reviews and other musings. Let’s stay in touch.

I’ll send you one short post about once a month where you can add your comments. I’d love to hear from you! My essay or podcast goes directly to your inbox.

I'm working on my first novel based on my Japanese American family secrets and publish sections of it as short stories or essays. I also write book reviews of books I especially enjoyed and find helpful on my writing journey.

Yūrei (幽霊 ghosts) haunt me. During the pandemic, I wrote 300 pages based on my Japanese immigrant parents secrets. Now, I'm revising the entire manuscript as fiction. I hope these stories not only entertain, they also illuminate our humanity.
