Karen Bremer Masuda

I have been writing all my life, but 'seriously' for the past ten years.  I have never blogged before so this is new to me.  I write fiction and many of my stories take place in Japan where I have lived most of my life.  I have lived all over the US as well as all over Asia.  I identify with so many things all over that my identity is questionable!  I have written two novels, one self published, called Backbones and Pillars, and one, What Never Would Have Been, will hopefully be published sometime in the not to far future.  I have around twenty short stories three of which have been published.  Right now I am into short stories and keep busy writing and finding homes for them.  I have two teenage kids, a cat, a dog and a husband, and live in Shizuoka, Japan.  cheers!
