Hi Debby, I'm sorry to hear that! I don't have anything to do with my giveaways personally, but I've passed your message along to my publisher.

So many! I will just list a few here. My favorite work of Chinese historical fiction is To Live by Yu Hua (translated from Chinese by Michael Berry). For a more modern view of China, take a look at Xiaolu Guo's Twenty Fragments of a Ravenous Youth. I can also recommend Pachinko by Min Jin Lee, which explores the Korean experience in Japan in the 1900s.
My favorite novels about Asians in American include Hunger (a novella and stories) by Samantha Chang, Chemistry by Weike Wang, and Viet Thanh Nguyen's The Sympathizer.

I do! I'm currently working on a second novel.

Though born and raised in America, I spent two years living with my parents in a serviced apartment in Shanghai. There, I got to know a cast of fascinating characters--drivers and housekeepers, fellow ex-pat residents, and my very own family members--better than I could have ever imagined. Living in a foreign country forced me to see the world from different and distinct angles. For me, that's where the best stories begin.
