Hey Lisa! I just recently finished The Shanghai Girls, and to be honest it was more than just good. Well written and developed, I literally raised my hands to the sky when I found out there is a sequel (Dreams of Joy). I can't wait to read it. But is there going to be a third book?

DThank you so much for your very kind words about Shanghai Girls. I'm so glad you've enjoyed it. I'm not working on a sequel to Dreams of Joy, although I did plant some things in that novel in case I ever decide to write a third book in the series.

Hi, Lisa! I absolutely love your books. Every one of them is so moving. I read Peony in Love in 2 days because I couldn't put it down! And Snow Flower and the Secret Fan is one of my top favorite books ever, period. Are you able to give us any hints on what you're working on now? ;) And do you have any tips on creating complex and unique characters for aspiring writers? Thanks! <3

I have recently finished “The Tea Girl if Hummingbird Lane” and loved it so much, especially the scenes in rural China. I have just started “Lady Tan’s Circle of Women” and am looking forward to reading it. I am wondering: Have your books been translated into Chinese? Do you have an audience in the People’s Republic of China or Taiwan?

Hi Lisa, I just finished the Island of the Sea Women and I loved it! I visited Jeju-do in 2015, and while many of the tourist attractions mentioned in the book were familiar to me, I have no memory of learning about the 4-3 incident, so I was enthralled by this book. I am wondering what sources you relied on to build this story, since it obviously has a controversial history? Thank you for writing it!
