Renée Chambliss has been to Chinatown in San Francisco often. It's one of
the perks of living in northern California. Her kids love it and could
spend all day shopping there. Plastic num-chucks, parasols, tea sets, lion
puppets: there's so much to buy and they want everything! When she's not
saying "no, you can't have that", to their endless requests, Renee is
narrating audiobooks and wishing she could carve out some writing time.
