Born in Shanghai, I was raised in the sunny streets of Los Angeles, and grew up with a vivid
imagination and a musical streak. Along with singing wildly with
the radio in the
car (to the chagrin of my parents), I watched films and TV with quite the intensity, often
completely engrossed in the wonderfully fascinating worlds and stories before me. I remember how
captivated I was as a young girl, because well, I'm still captivated today. Now, I live to share in the telling of these stories. I don't mind taking people along for the journey of tears... or
laughter. C'est la vie!
FAQ #1: Since it often comes up in conversation, I got my name from a dare in eighth grade. My friend and I decided
to change our names on a whim. Before Nebula, my name was XinXing,
a Chinese name given by my parents which means “Happy Star.” I felt at the time that
Nebula would be a unique...and appropriately astronomical change.
