SEA Quest: A SG Writer's Thoughts about ASEAN Lit
SFF in ASEAN Writing Who am I? I write science fiction (mostly) and YA. And things in between. What draws me to science fiction and YA? I like the genre. Science fiction is a genre.

It makes you travel through space and time. It has enormous potential for change. YA? I teach and I like teaching. My students happen to fall within this category.
