A little while back, I decided to combine my hobby for reading with my desire to help my nieces and nephews better understand what I do for a living. The results were these three books that are technically about International Relations and Global studies, but hidden inside a sci-fi mystery romance with a little humor. I plan on posting all of it for free eventually, because I hope others may like it. The impatient can buy it (to include audio book read by me!), but regular kids can slow get all of it for free. I hope someone else enjoys it too^^

Bio: Dr. Bassette (not, "save your life," kind of doctor, but "reads a lot and knows trivia about the ancient spice trade" kind of doctor) lives in Seoul, the Republic of Korea, with his wife Mihye, son Jay, sister-in-law Eunhye, and nephew Seogyun. He currently serves as a Korean Government Official and Global Studies Professor (hence all of the weird references throughout the book. Sorry about that). A former military Noncommissioned Officer (the under-paid kind of officer), Bassette has lived in 14 US states and five different countries, which created a great interest in learning about and studying other cultures and people. He is an International Relations Master's and Doctoral graduate of Korea University (a school so famous, they named two countries after it). He grew up with the classic writings of C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, Frank Peretti, and Madeleine L'Engle. None of whom wrote anything even close to his book in terms of style, tone, or ineptitude. He sincerely hopes that they do not judge him too harshly and will still allow him into the Kingdom of Heaven.
