Biography
In heart and soul, I am an insufferable romantic. I'm also a coffee addict (switched from strong Italian Roast from Starbucks to Starbucks' Dark Expresso Roast - yum!), lover of all things 80's, Jane Austen fan(atic), supernatural buff, exotic goldfish keeper, prefer Thai and Vietnamese cuisine, and when I'm writing, spam masubi as a meal or steaming hot Pho. Oh, and telling a good romance story with lots of twists and turns.

- The Truth About Conspiracy Theories
on Nov. 27, 2011
Wow. Just . . . wow. This is a MUST read for those who are baffled by how our society's been denigrated over the past years in pursuit of bigger profits. Everyone who has been watching our government issue trillions (yes, that's trillions) of dollars to bail out banks and other powerful financial institutions all across the world; everyone who knows about the #Occupy movement and the militaristic police crackdown of these peaceful demonstrations while allowing the Tea Party to carry loaded weapons to demonstrations with impunity; everyone who bore witness that the Health Care Reform debate was mercilessly attacked then weakened by well-funded corporate interests against We the People, and everyone who has said, at least once, even in private, "the truth is out there", needs to read this eye-opening, concise, and well-written e-book. It is a fabulous start to finally "deprogramming" yourself and to open up a channel of communication in your mind between what isn't exactly computing with you in our society and how easy it can actually be if only such and such happened. I breezed through it and found myself nodding and saying "Yeah!" throughout. Deprogramming oneself starts with you. Thank you for this wonderful read, Brines. I'll be looking forward to more of your work.
