I'm the daughter of Chinese immigrants and am fascinated by the role personal suffering plays in the development of human character. I enjoy exploring the redemptive and healing power of love in my creative writing.

Fiction
I'm working on a literary romance in the vein of The Time Traveler's Wife about a time-traveling genie who falls in love with a woman, must rescue her from certain doom, and finds his soul in the process.
Also in the developmental stage:
The Deep is a linked collection of stories that follows the intersecting lives of an extended Chinese-American family, providing snapshots of members' lives as they deal with the secrets of their past. The stories follow the characters in their search for personal redemption. In a nutshell, it's like Lost meets The Joy Luck Club.
