(view spoiler)[I just finished The Ghost Bride for my online book group and was completely dragged (from page one, literally) into a beautiful and lush story landscape. I couldn't put it down until I had finished! Now, while there is certainly closure at the end, it also seemed a bit open-ended - might there be a further continuation of Li Lan and her dragon's story? (hide spoiler)]

Hi Amanda,
I'm delighted that you enjoyed it! And yes, you're right, initially I'd planned another section for the book called "The Courts of Hell", in which I was going to go on and do a murder trial for the dead (I've always wanted to write a detective story!)... Unfortunately, it would have made the book much, much longer and waaay over the page count for a debut novel, so I put it aside for the time being. But I'm certainly open to writing it one day! ;)

I finished reading The ghost bride and just loved it. You really surprised me with the book's plot, was wondering if you will write more about Li Lan and Er Lang? I think it will be good to know more about Er Lang and his family, who he says is worse than the family Lim and it would also be nice to see a little more of Li Lan and Er Lang together. I look forward to more books.

I am in love with your writing and your narration too. I couldn't stop listening to both the novels and enjoyed every bit of those books. You weave magic through characters and plot in your books. Please tell me you are working on your third novel and it's due soon? :)

I cannot believe your book The Ghost Bride is now a show on Netflix! Congratulations! I am two episodes in and love the choices for actors to play Li Lan and Er Lang-they are cute and annoy each other ever so perfectly. The costuming is beyond gorgeous and the set designs are exquisite. In short, I am hooked in already and am sad only because there are only 6 episodes. Will there be a Volume II?
