Y. Y. Chan was born in Hong Kong but grew up in sunny Brisbane, Australia where she had Christmas during summer. She returned to Hong Kong to teach English after graduating from university. When her father passed away, she took a break from teaching to travel, read, and write. She now tutors English and works freelance for different educational institutes.

Her best writing comes out late at night when everyone else is asleep. 'Can You Hear Me, Daddy?' is her debut book. When she is not writing or teaching, she is either reading or looking for more books to add to her overflowing bookshelf.

Initially, I wanted to write a memoir but I was a little hazy on a lot of the details and I didn't know how to write about or portray other family members accurately. I also really wanted to write a children's book, so I decided to write a fictionalised story from the perspective of a young girl. All the events are fictional but all of the feelings and emotions described are very real. I wish I had read a story like this when I was young - so I wrote a story that I wanted read. (less)
