After talking about it for months, I finally launched the Wulin web site last night. This is a site whose focus is on martial arts novels, wuxia, and wulin, the life of the noble martial artist. I don’t know much about this myself, but it is one of my wife’s passions and the reason for the site. She’ll be adding more content and direction as the site grows. the tag line for the site, comes from a Chinese expression that basically says that the sword within your heart is greater than the one in your hand.
The fun for me is getting to create something new and learning more about some cool stuff. And since I picked up Jade Empire on Thursday, I’m really pumped for wuxia! I’ve been a fan of martial arts films for a number of years now, I guess drawn by the deadly ballet. But I never gave much thought to wuxia novels and really didn’t know they even existed until I met my wife who’s a big fan of them. I’m hoping that I can get her to write some stories too!
Here’s a link to the site again.
