Ray-Comics
Drawings and Writings. Long story short, raised in America from the Midwest to the West Coast on a starchy diet of movies and comics and science fiction paperbacks. There’s a Mid-East connection in there too. I like to write fiction about such states as California and Ohio, and such provinces as Guangdong. Japan/rest-of-Asia being interesting topics as well. Lived in Shenzhen, China since 2008 (has it really been that long?), that lovely Special Economic Zone Hong Kong-bordering chaotic city which has given me so much, but I have now moved to Taiwan. I occasionally partake of some freelance journalism and book-writing for various local publications. Most recently the author of South China Morning Blues (Blacksmith Books, 2015), Always Goodbye (TWG Press, 2020), and editor of the comic anthology series Visions of Taiwan (Lei Press, 2023 – 2025).
