Dear Lisa See, First of all, I want you to know how much I love and appreciate your talent and hard work! I want to start writing my first book, I already have the plot and some scenes written in my laptop, but I cannot actually start writing because I can't find the best names for my characters. Do you have any tips for me? How do you name your characters? Thank you!
Lisa See
I don't know why I'm not seeing this question until now. But here I am at last. I'm hoping you came up with your character names a long, long time ago, and the writing is going smoothly. In case you haven't, there are so many variables when creating names. Is a name appropriate to the culture and the time period in which the story takes place? Sometimes names can have a theme -- flowers, semi-precious stones, places. Sometimes a name just come to me...

Ms. See, I'd like to thank you for bringing such joy into my life through your stunning work. All have transported me to beautiful places. As a Latina-American, I especially appreciate your focus on women of color, as our stories so often go untold. As for my question: will TTGoHL have a sequel?

Hi Lisa See!! My question has to do with a slightly older book :) I loved Shanghai Girls recently, more specifically, the dynamic between May and Pearl! My question is...how did you decide to have Z.G be the father of May's child? Was it to create tension between the sisters or was there another reason? Thank you and have a great day!! Alia🩵
