WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT…
Gateway to EVERYWHERE

“The author had me on page one, on the eve of the Boxer Rebellion in China, when I was introduced to that indomitable, beautiful, spoiled girl in her teens and the womanizing heroic Marine lieutenant she has just married…”

 --Catherine G. Burke, Associate Professor, Emerita, University of Southern California

“Gateway to Everywhere sets out an imagined place one wants to inhabit…a major novel with a great story to tell…a palpable sensual story to read, to listen to, and to see.”

--Mark Seltzer, Distinguished Professor of Literature, UCLA        

“I offer my applause for a brilliant, absorbing, moving, colorful, honest and exciting story with a great canvas and unforgettable characters…a brilliant blending of fiction and history, steeped in challenges and tragedies and romance and adventure, it immerses the reader in a compelling era, affording insights into a time and place both original and intriguing.

--Beau Marks, UCLA Television and Motion Picture Department
