We definitely need more Asian stories -- which I enjoy reading. Just finished Michelle Isenhoff's Tears of the Mountain and really got lost in her beautiful story. Will definitely check out the Dragon Warrior!

I've had a lot of people tell me to write a story set in the 80's. I grew up then, so I should know it, but still, I worry. My perceptions might not be the same as someone else's. But that doesn't make our experience less genuine, just different, right?Elizabeth Seckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045076826326574984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-8436036995312887592019-10-21T15:01:28.160-04:002019-10-21T15:01:28.160-04:00This book is high on my must read list as I love t...This book is high on my must read list as I love the premise.
