Occam's Lab

“Fantasy and SciFi stories, as well as thoughts on culture, language and life in Japan and elsewhere. All well worth your time.”

“Vanessa's serialized fiction, "Requiem of the Moth," embraces the traditions of fantasy, rendering a world built on legend and lore, with rich character relationships driven by unique competing interests. Her voice reverberates in her well-crafted prose and vivid imagery. She invites the reader into an authentic world replete with tribal passions and the conflict of politics.”
