About meRaised in Japan, I gravitate toward anything Asian, especially sushi and sashimi. My first novel, Rain Song, is coming out in October, and there is a Japan connection to it.

Suddenly I find that I'm no longer 29 and have lived in Durham, North Carolina for 20 years. I never thought I could consider the United States my home. At one time in my life, I preferred to live overseas. America was foreign to me and being a foreigner overseas was easier than feeling like a foreigner in my own country of citizenship.

Raising children here has helped me place deep roots in this
southern town. I have three beautiful and opinionated living children, and one who died from cancer treatments in 1997. Daniel is my inspiration. His life on earth was just four short years. His legacy is wider than the Carolina sky.

About my libraryEvery other year I read The Bell Jar. I suppose the demise of the main character intrigues me because she had such potential and success, yet she couldn't function. So sad.... Elizabeth Berg's novels always keep me turning the pages and hold insights into human nature. As a social worker by degree, I enjoy books with human growth and change.
