About Me

Well...I'm a new author. I have two books out: Purple Jars of Rice and Folklore and Other Stories. My main site is http://www.ankhesen-mie.net. You can keep up with me here or there.

Background from Yahoo search result

My Interests

Well...writing.

I'd like to meet:

There are many people I'd like to meet. Several actors and comedians have inspired much of my work and it would give me great pleasure to meet them all.

Music:

I like a lot of different types of music. In fact, creating playlists for my different works helps me to get much more accomplished.

Movies:

I'm not a big fan of Hollywood.

Television:

Just getting used to it all over again.

Books:

I like to read African and Asian literature. I'm going to start reading a lot South American literature as well. I'm also fond of reading history, sacred texts, and mythology.

Heroes:

Patricia Hill Collins, Kenjo Jumbam, Su Tong, Lao Tzu, Yamamoto Tsunemoto, Toni Morrison, Angelique Kidjo, Miriam Makeba, Mineko Iwasaki, Francis Bebey, Ferdinand Oyono, Chinua Achebe, Amma Darko, and I'll probably add more later.
