Michelle (odysseybooks) | 6 comments This book was setup with all the correct info, but suddenly another author is attributed. The cover clearly shows the name Quynh Dao, but it incorrectly shows someone named Chiung Yao as the author now. Can someone please fix this?

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments It looks like they could be the same person. I have changed the name on this edition to the name on the cover since that is policy. I have also added the possible other name in the secondary position for the time being, if someone who knows better comes along we can remove the second name


Michelle (odysseybooks) | 6 comments Thank you so much for making the correction. I can confirm they are not the same person -- I'm the publisher of this book.


Michelle (odysseybooks) | 6 comments Quynh Dao is Vietnamese and lives in Melbourne, Australia. This is her only book (memoir). She was a child during the Vietnam War.

Chiung Yao is from Taiwan and was born in 1938 according to her Goodreads bio. She seems to be a prolific writer of Romance.

Beth (bethjustbeth) | 1568 comments I can only see Quynh Dao listed on the cover, and she is listed as the only author on worldcat. I can't see where it was changed, so that's a mystery (or I've not had enough coffee...entirely possible), but I removed our romance author, Chiung Yao. :)
