Authors

The writers behind this newsletter.

  • Mark Crutchfield

  • Dorie Snow/雪多丽

    RN, CSULB 25 graduate Asian Studies Chinese culture and philosophy. Author, Scholar. Life is better with love, a garden, a library. “My love is a periwinkle beef stew. It shouldn’t work, yet somehow? It does.” (HVR)
