Read Fusion View
A cross-cultural view on people, society and technology
at www.fusionview.co.uk
You’ve heard of fusion food, a merging of Eastern cuisine with Modern British cooking. Well, this is the fusion blog — a synthesis of my Chinese- Malaysian background and my current life in the UK. The blog offers a diverse view on society and culture internationally, with particular focus on what’s happening in the UK and South East Asia. There are also posts on how social media and technology is affecting our lives as well as my personal take on creative writing and the publishing industry in the UK.
I invite Guest Bloggers to contribute posts from their special areas of experience and interest — Guest Bloggers have included Caro Fraser, the bestselling novelist and creator of the Caper Court series of legal novels and South London filmmaker, David Grey founder of Village Films. There will be occasional Open Invitations to all my readers to become Guest Bloggers and join the growing Fusion View community — previous Open Invitations have includes a call for readers to Tell Your “Fusion” Story and share your experiences of living in another culture.
PLUS, subscribers get the chance to win books and other gifts. For example, three subscribers won copies of my novel, The Flame Tree. Others have won copies of Caro Fraser’s novel, A World Apart and poet James Wood’s collection of poetry, The Theory of Everything.

Read ZenGuide
The real world guide to blogs and social media
at www.zenguide.co.uk
Blogs and social media are revolutionising the way we communicate and relate to each other. More and more people are turning to the internet for information, entertainment, shopping, organising their schedules, collaborating on projects and as a way to keep in touch with friends and colleagues. Social media online is extending our real world networks so that we can carry on conversations internationally as well as locally. They are enabling businesses and individuals to reach a potentially vast global audience.
My ZenGuide blog explores how communicating effectively through social media can contribute to your personal and professional success. I also highlight trends and news about blogging about social media in plain English. For those of you who find the array of tech words and concepts bewildering, I am also compiling a Beginners Guide to blogs and social media and a Jargon Buster.
I also offer consultancy and training on how blogging and social media can help you and your business. You can contact me via the ZenGuide site.
