Welcome

Our life is our story and every person has one. Some of us are meant to write about them—or create them.
When you visit my articles pages you will find an eclectic collection of memoirs and commentaries from political to spiritual. Most of these stories have been published elsewhere and are based on personal experience. I hope you will enjoy reading them and maybe get something of value from them.
When I lived in Japan I knew some day I would write about it. The fiction page is a summary of my novel, “The Sword & The Chrysanthemum, Journey of The Heart.” I am currently working on my second novel.
The Sword & The Chrysanthemum, Journey of The Heart
Historical fiction in medieval Japan by Susan Scharfman
Meeting secretly since childhood, a shogun’s unconventional daughter and a gifted Eurasian poet are two unlikely lovers on a mystical journey where nothing is as it appears and everything is possible.
