China is home to the world's oldest civilization. This anthology traces China's history through centuries of dynastic rule to the establishment of a nation state in the twentieth century. Readings cover the Communist revolution, the current social and economic transformations, and the challenges facing China now and in the future.
I'm an artist and a writer, and I alternate between writing and painting. My paintings are abstract landscapes in oil, and I also do mixed-media work. I write mystery-suspense: Letty Valdez Mysteries (4 in series), Cat Miranda Mysteries (3 in series), and Iron Horse Mysteries (5 so far).
