I created this site for the convenience of those interested in following my work as an author of both non-fiction works of history and political science as well the Sino-American Tales, my historical novels, Tienkuo: the Heavenly Kingdom, Beyond the Heavenly Kingdom  and the newest in the series Under Heaven’s Watch.  I am currently writing the fourth book in the series, Heaven Objects which should be available sometime in early 2027. And note that the audio version of the first book in the series, Tienkuo The Heavenly Kingdom was recently cited by Bookauthority as one of the best books of all time on the Taiping Rebellion. 

 Best Taiping Rebellion Audiobooks of all Time!
