edit data

Dana Li is a software product manager by day, and a novelist by night. She holds an MS in management science and engineering from Stanford University and a BS in computer science from USC, but she’s always been better at writing stories than code. Her writing misadventures began with a dozen now-deleted Star Wars fanfiction tales. She loves good fantasy/sci-fi, classy cuisines, and roller coasters (but not all at once). Dana currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, and "The Vermilion Riddle" is her first novel.

“The Vermilion Riddle” Celebration Blog Tour

I’m excited to share that The Vermilion Riddle is on tour with Celebrate Lit, starting today! We have 16 blog stops, where readers will share their review of the novel. You can find out more on the tour home page, and also enter to win the grand prize (a paperback copy and a $50 Amazon gift card)!

I didn’t end up putting together my own blog tour when we first launched the book, so I’m gratefu
