edit data

I am an avid reader who decided to write late in life. The joys of writing are many-fold. It allows me to escape into my imagination and create new worlds and live in the minds of my characters.

The stories I read growing up inspired me to write. I am interested in historical fantasy and within that society, examining the human heart in conflict. I like to place my female characters in difficult situations and see how they learn to survive with no actual power. And watch my male characters fall in love while fighting for king and land. I love exploring the struggle between love and duty.

The Poppy War starts with an entrance exam that feels so much like the IIT entrance exam in India — where over 1.3 million students compete for roughly 18,000 spots, a less than 1% acceptance rate. Since the book is set in a China-inspired world, I a ...more

Never Eat Alone is the kind of book that rewards selective reading. Not every piece of advice landed for me: some felt dated, others simply don't fit how I work, but that's true of most books in this genre, and it's no reason to dismiss it. I found e ...more
