I've been an expatriate in Japan since 1988. I live among rice paddies and sweet potato fields with my Japanese husband and our twins. I've written one novel - Losing Kei (Leapfrog Press, 2008), and edited three anthologies - The Broken Bridge: Fiction from Expatriates in Literary Japan (Stone Bridge Press, 1997), Love You to Pieces: Creative Writers on Raising a Child with Special Needs (Beacon Press, 2008) and Call Me Okaasan: Adventures in Multicultural Mothering (Wyatt Mackenzie Publishing, 2009).
