The Unlikable Character

Want to know the rationale behind my creating such unlikable characters? Well, not everyone is likable. Not everyone learns from their mistakes. Not everyone makes it.

Read more about it (and about my brush with a notorious killer) in this piece I wrote for CrimeReads:

"Noir demands that we consider the problem of the irredeemable...and bear witness to their humanity."

Loved! Saving Face is like the flipside of Crazy Rich Asians via a delicious mix of Patricia Highsmith/Jesse Q. Sutanto/Horatio Alger. A tension-filled and layered look at ambition, identity, and the costs of reinvention. Highly recommend!

Quotes by Kate Myles (?)

“All this time, I’d assumed my husband was operating with some baseline of competence. But his carelessness was a disease. It infected”
