Juan Rader Bas, the Fil-Am Kicking Scribe
I am the Fil-Am Kicking Scribe. Well, I am one of the many Fil-Am Kicking Scribes. Haha. Fil-Am means 'Filipino-American.' Kicking refers to my martial arts life and scribe, obviously, because I'm a writer. Catchy, huh? Or, corny? Baduy, as we'd say in The Philippines. Nonetheless, welcome to my website and thanks for stopping by.
At filamkickingscribe.com, you'll learn about me, primarily as a writer, but I'll also share posts about my martial arts life and other things, too. You can also check my blog, Contemplations, by clicking the link in the menu on the left. I hope you like what you see here and do stop by again. There'll be updates on any events I attend - whether I'm hosting them or going as a guest - and there'll be the occasional contest, too. You could win a signed copy of my novel, Back Kicks And Broken Promises, which is coming out in February 2012 and being published by Abbott Press. I'd also love to hear from you. Just drop a "hello, how are you?" or let me know what you think of my book or this website. Click on the Contact Me link in the menu or shoot me a direct email at bas@filamkickingscribe.com. You can also follow me on Twitter. Scroll down and click on the Twitter button below or search for me while you're in the Twitterverse. My name there is @JuanRaderBas. Anyway, thanks again for stopping by. I hope you enjoy your visit.  Click the icon above to see my goodreads author page.
