“Lin writes with a natural lyricism and a wondrous ability to render the spontaneity of human thought.” – Kirkus Reviews

Welcome to my books section! As I add more titles, I’ll add them here, as well as links to individual profiles to each book, featuring excerpts and links to purchase your own copy.

Bond Movies: A Retrospective

This overview of the James Bond films is packed with details on the making of each film, including fun trivia and anecdotes as well as in-depth (and sometimes irreverent) commentary on each film’s virtues and flaws, it’s a comprehensive look at the Bond series as a whole, as well as a celebration of Bond’s impact on popular culture (and vice versa). It’s a book intended to be read and savored by Bond fans of all types—from neophytes to aficionados who are familiar with the movies and the original Ian Fleming novels. 

China Girl and Other Stories

The stories in this collection are about modern women, drunken dissidents, disgruntled city dwellers just trying to get by, unrequited couples from opposite ends of the world,  a princess of a kingdom that no longer exists, and actors placed at the service of comedies and tragedies, depending on the filmmaker’s whims.
