FYI, it's X. Ho Yen, not "X. Yen". Goodreads assumes a surname can't have a space!

Please see XHoYenAuthor.com/lauds for the full list of legitimate lauds for my books, including awards.

There you can see the astounding Literary Titan review of "Space Autistic Author's Puzzling Innerverse". Or see it here:

In protest of complicity with the reich, I'm extricating myself from Amazon, Google, and other broligarchy so-called 'ecosystems'. Until further notice, my books have been removed from Amazon but can still be acquired through the /Books tab on my web site. Since Goodreads is Amazon, I'm also actively not present here until further notice.

Winston S. Churchill
“I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.”
Winston S. Churchill

Leo Tolstoy
“I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives.”
Leo Tolstoy

Henry David Thoreau
“What men call social virtues, good fellowship, is commonly but the virtue of pigs in a litter, which lie close together to keep each other warm.”
Henry David Thoreau

Eleanor Roosevelt
“When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?”
Eleanor Roosevelt
