STORE is now open! I linked up with Amazon.com and am creating a place where the movies and books that have influenced, entertained,
and provoked my wuxia writing are available. There is more coming and I would love to hear from you regarding the

• Shaolin Monastery Branches Out.
This just in from an Austrailan friend:
Shaolin Monastery is going to set up its first centre outside China on the south coast of NSW -- approval for it has just
come through from the state government. This will be a "$750 million [Australian dollars] training academy, temple, luxury
resort and residential complex" covering 1248 hectares, and "will include three pagoda temples, places for 500 kung-fu students,
a 500-room four-star hotel, 27-hole golf course, 1500-seat indoor auditorium, 1000-seat outdoor amphitheatre, 20-hectare herbal
garden, acupuncture and herbal medicine centre and a village of up to 500 homes". They're planning to invite Jackie Chan and
Jet Li to visit and are hoping that it "could be a centre for making kung-fu movies."
