Hokkaido Green Locus Review
by Aidan on Dec.02, 2010, under My Writing, Writing
Lois Tilton at Locus gave Hokkaido Green a nice review.
There is a low-key deadpan humor here that makes this one charming and keeps a heartwarming story from falling into sentimentality. Almost a fairy tale.
–RECOMMENDED

Chinese Version of Reading By Numbers
by Aidan on Nov.28, 2010, under My Writing, Writing
I ended up corresponding with White Moon, the Chinese woman that did the translation of Hokkaido Green.
And now there is an authorised Mandarin translation of my story, Reading By Numbers.
Given the structure and formatting of the story, it wouldn’t have been the easiest story to translate, but she has managed to translate it and still preserve the story’s hidden message.
Hokkaido Green Comments
by Aidan on Nov.28, 2010, under My Writing, Writing
Another interesting comment about my story, Hokkaido Green:
You’ll sorta understand this feeling when you get older. But it’d be really good if you understood it now so that you never have to.
