Fiction

My debut novel is a holiday fake-dating romance set during the Lunar New Year (because why does Xmas get to have all the drama?). I also have 6 publications in Nature...'s sci-fi column, Futures.

Love, Lies, Lunar New Year

  • In this holiday fake-dating romance with an Asian American twist, Lily Wong, an obstinately plain animal activist, fake-dates Charles Chen, the dashing heir to a shark fin empire, during the fifteen days of the Lunar New Year.
