Karen Bremer Masuda
I have been writing all my life, but 'seriously' for the past fifteen years. 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 have written two novels, one self published, called Backbones and Pillars, and one, Before the Ever After, will hopefully be published sometime in the not to far future. (I can only hope!) I have around forty short stories, six 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!
