about me

BAMBOO PROMISE will be released in kindle very soon.

I have two beautiful children, one boy and one girl. I earned my second degree in Chemistry at Portland State University in Oregon. I got remarried and now live in Tucson, AZ.

I am now working on my 2nd book titled "HOME OF THE BRAVE" and the third " A RING THAT STARTS"

I have received a best review from Harper Collins when the book reached the Editorial Desk, " this book could sell fantastically well. The story is moving, funny, gripping and tragic by turns, and although it would not be a straightforward publishing task, I feel very strongly that it should be taken on board.

From KayChristina, authonomy member said:

Bamboo Promise - is written by a true Cambodian lady, who was an adult when the Khmer Rouge took her country, and informs how it was betrayed by those in thrall to Mao.

Bora's recollections are vivid, historically accurate and informative, and her words really do burn off the pages like napalm.

This is the truth. Bora lived it,and tells how she, as an adult, triumphed over evil, honored her Father, family, and country.

Just as she learned to understand the enemy within, what made them do what they did - and she tells us here.

Sadly, some might well let this happen again - the power-hungry never go away, not really. They only lie low, as vermin do. If more people learn the truth of what happened, how their own leaders betrayed them, it can be prevented.

Her people, those who lived through these atrocities with her, whose parents and grandparents did, are crying out for this work, the truth, to be read by the world. Thousands of Cambodians support this work, knowing its truth.

Bora represents not only her own people, but represents triumph over adversity for oppressed people everywhere. And as her Father always told her, no one must be allowed to take away your own mind, your HOPE.
