Yes. I write things that get published. Isn't that grand? I can say that it's not easy to get a book published. If anyone would like me, the other writers or my publisher to give a talk at any schools or pretty much anything that welcomes the literary arts, feel free to contact me and we'll see what we can do! Otherwise, you can still just email me questions about it. After all, I'm an ML for Nanowrimo in Singapore and would like to encourage young budding writers to get their own books out! (Fun note: Our info is more Singapore based because the "rules" are totally different in getting yourself out there than what you usually read in US/UK/etc based articles.) For now, have a looksee and perhaps buy any of the books below! You can definitely find them at Kinokuniya (Singapore) since they've an online catalogue to help you search for stocks of it.

Happiness at the End of the World

Happiness at the End of the World

Eight science fiction short stories with a different take of the theme of a moment of post-Armageddon happiness. Genres include crime, romance and adventure with settings ranging from a desolate space station to a war-ravaged world, a jungle village to a super-clean Singapore of the future.

While the rest of the world is doom and gloom over climate change, ancient predictions of planetary alignments spelling the end of days and the potential for nuclear holocaust, one book has come to the rescue with some joy in the midst of horror.

Bubble G.U.M

Bubble G.U.M (coming second half of 2010)

It's 2045 and Prix Chan is beginning her National Service. Her father, Pierre, believes she can handle it but her mother, Su, is hysterical at the thought of her daughter leaving the safety of Singapore's Green Underwater Metropolis, the Bubble G.U.M., a self-sufficient city-state protected three miles beneath the waves by a dome of chewing gum.

Little does anyone know that in less than a week Prix will cause the biggest crisis to hit Singapore since the planet went into meltdown creating a world of water and a human civilisation on the brink of annihilation.

A collaborative novel from Happy Smiley (aka, the six members of the Happy Smiley Writers Group), Bubble G.U.M. is out to prove that thought-stretching literature and revealing bikinis are not mutually exclusive. And, yes, it is Sci-fi in all its glory.
