A proverbial third-culture kid whose journey has canvassed 4 continents, I write young and new adult fiction. Recently, I completed a YA action thriller, entitled Hail, about a 17 year old science prodigy and martial artist who must navigate the tightrope between organized crime and corrupt politics in order to keep her family alive.
