Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you wanted to enrich your romance novels by including a diverse cast of characters? Do you want your stories to reflect the society around you? Are you unsure how to portray Asian characters in a balanced way that does not perpetuate stereotypes? If so, I can be your mentor and help you develop Asian romantic heroes and heroines that are strong, desirable, talented, and flawed—in other words, well-rounded characters, who, like all romantic heroes and heroines deserve and find a happy ending. I have experience in this area, having grown up Asian American and have written many romance novels with Asian heroes and heroines. I’ve also read widely in both literature and fiction areas, as well as taken ethnic studies classes and researched Asian American history. I can be your guide in finding resources to deepen your knowledge while pointing out areas to pay attention. I will also encourage you to let your characters fly, no matter what their background and to not let fear hold you back when developing your Asian characters. In this book, I will go over common myths and stereotypes, respectful ways of describing Asian characters, and the tropes to avoid. I’ll briefly touch on the history of the various Asian groups in America and point out to you the difference in experience based on when the Asian ancestor immigrated. Interracial and multicultural romance is a thriving romance market, and I will talk about some of the concerns and opportunities when writing characters who come from different backgrounds. I'll include example excerpts to illustrate my points and interview questions you can use to develop your unique characters from an Asian perspective.

To my damaged eyes, she’s all freesia-scented curves, and her touch reminds me of everything a man like me—damaged inside and out—doesn’t deserve. Evianna Archer Firing a key employee so close to the launch of my new home security program was risky. But who knew the guy would turn psycho? The last thing I need is a bodyguard underfoot, especially one as distracting as Dax. Towering, broody, and scarred inside and out, he’s determined to keep me safe. And at a distance. With my life in chaos, Dax is everything I shouldn’t want. Shouldn’t need. But as the danger mounts, he proves he’s someone I can trust with my body, heart, and soul. The trick will be surviving long enough to reprogram his broken self-image—and prove to him he’s worthy of love. ~~ Second Sight is a found family, steamy protector romance featuring an angry, blind, tortured former Special Forces soldier and a brilliant tech company CEO. There's banter, the occasional laugh-out-loud moment, and a love story you'll never forget.

Book excerpt: One of New York Magazine's best books on Silicon Valley! The true, behind-the-scenes history of the people who built Silicon Valley and shaped Big Tech in America Long before Margaret O'Mara became one of our most consequential historians of the American-led digital revolution, she worked in the White House of Bill Clinton and Al Gore in the earliest days of the commercial Internet. There she saw firsthand how deeply intertwined Silicon Valley was with the federal government--and always had been--and how shallow the common understanding of the secrets of the Valley's success actually was. Now, after almost five years of pioneering research, O'Mara has produced the definitive history of Silicon Valley for our time, the story of mavericks and visionaries, but also of powerful institutions creating the framework for innovation, from the Pentagon to Stanford University. It is also a story of a community that started off remarkably homogeneous and tight-knit and stayed that way, and whose belief in its own mythology has deepened into a collective hubris that has led to astonishing triumphs as well as devastating second-order effects. Deploying a wonderfully rich and diverse cast of protagonists, from the justly famous to the unjustly obscure, across four generations of explosive growth in the Valley, from the forties to the present, O'Mara has wrestled one of the most fateful developments in modern American history into magnificent narrative form. She is on the ground with all of the key tech companies, chronicling the evolution in their offerings through each successive era, and she has a profound fingertip feel for the politics of the sector and its relation to the larger cultural narrative about tech as it has evolved over the years. Perhaps most impressive, O'Mara has penetrated the inner kingdom of tech venture capital firms, the insular and still remarkably old-boy world that became the cockpit of American capitalism and the crucible for bringing technological innovation to market, or not. The transformation of big tech into the engine room of the American economy and the nexus of so many of our hopes and dreams--and, increasingly, our nightmares--can be understood, in Margaret O'Mara's masterful hands, as the story of one California valley. As her majestic history makes clear, its fate is the fate of us all.
