here's what i could find real quick... "James Graham Ballard was born in Shanghai, China in 1930. He and his parents were part of the British population there before World War II. They were interred by the Japanese in Lunghua Civilian Assembly Centre from 1942 to 1945. Ballard mixed his experiences from that period with fiction in his 1984 novel Empire of the Sun. This book was made into a movie by director Steven Spielberg, and also became the first ever American motion picture granted permission to film in China. Ballard returned to England in 1946 and later studied medicine at Cambridge. He married and fathered three children. Following the death of his wife he raised his children by himself, writing while they were at school. These years are recounted in his 1991 novel The Kindness of Women. More recently his 1967 book Crash was made into a movie by Canadian director David Cronenberg." :) mark

People living deeply have no fear of death. ~Anais Nin, Diary How amazing it is to be alive! Anyone who lives and breathes and puts both feet on the ground, What possible reason could he have for envying the gods. ~Romain Gary, La Vie devant soi Love [Emma] believed, had to come suddenly with great thunderclaps and lightning flashes -- a storm from the heavens upon a life, turning it upside down, blowing away its petty wills like leaves, and carrying one's heart to the edge of the abyss. ~Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary Sometimes strength comes seemingly out of nowhere and wraps what seems the worst in love and understanding. Everyone has it. The strength comes from the heart. You are strong. ~.~ I hear thunder.
