This is now November of 2013. (I originally wrote this little bio a couple of years ago. I just want to add that Vinh, my novel about a Vietnamese woman is now on Amazon.com/Kindle Books. It's only 2.99 for anyone who might be interested.
I had intended to make this brief. Oh well. If any of you out there feel so inclined, drop me a note, I'd love to hear from you. HVS
