Welcome! This website is centered around my blog, which initially began as a sort of personal online journal, but has expanded to cover an eclectic range of topics. I am a social media enthusiast, emerging writer, and host of the Talking Taiwan podcast. Thanks for visiting and following along my personal journey!
OCTOBER 2019: As the biographer of Su Beng, I was interviewed about his recent passing. Along with BBC journalist Cindy Sui we talked about Su Beng's passing at the age of 100, his importance as an activist, historian, and revolutionary for Taiwan's independence, and his controversial life and legacy.

DECEMBER 21, 2017: In my interview for the Tao of Self Confidence, I spoke frankly about my journey to finding more self-confidence. I talked about the quarter-life crisis I went through before deciding to leave New York to live in Taiwan. I also talked about how things changed for me and I got on the path to write while I was in Taiwan. But all is not going to be revealed in here. If you want to hear all of the juicy details and why my podcast episode is called "The Artist's Way With Felicia Lin," you'll have to my listen to my interview on The Tao of Self Confidence podcast, which is Episode 430: The Artist’s Way with Felicia Lin.
What I will share here is my personal definition of self-confidence, which I shared during the interview:
For me, self-confidence is knowing that no matter what, no matter how bad things get or seem, if I’m depressed, disappointed, heartbroken, feel like a failure or lost, I still know that somehow I will pull through. Things will get better, and I will figure things out. It’s the sense that I am strong enough to get through the worst, but it is also being strong enough to know when you need to ask for help or admitting that you don’t know something.
FEBRUARY 14, 2016: Veteran movie and theater critic, Pia Lindström interviewed Victor and I about Metropolicks and The Metropolicks We Call New York City: A Guide for Singles, and the interview aired on SiriusXM Radio on Valentine's Day. As Pia said in the interview, the book (Metropolicks) goes into everything from speed dating, sperm donors, anger management issues, drug use, and alcoholism, but Metropolicks is about much more than that with spiritual subplot lines, and five characters who each have his/her own unique path in their quest for love.
