When I was 12, a teacher who saw something in my writing, read one of my stories to the rest of the class. I knew I wanted to be a writer since that day.

Love Among the Ashes
“If you are captured, use this to kill yourself with.” Hiro’s wife handed him the dagger. She loved him unconditionally, but she was a loyal citizen, a woman warrior of Japan and her ultimate allegiance belonged to the Emperor, for it was He, the divine instrument, that had brought Hiro and her together. With a poisonous hiss, the blade slipped from its sheath. She positioned the tip of the curved steel to her stomach, intending to demonstrate where to place the blade before falling onto it, but Hiro knew the custom well; he had witnessed it firsthand during the first world war. With soft, compassionate, embrace of hands he slid the weapon back into its cover and took it from her, placing it into the military issue bag at his feet.
