From a young age, I cultivated a profound love for reading and writing. I would spend hours at the library, devouring every book on a single shelf before moving on to the next. It seems I have a longing that can’t be satisfied by reality. Immersing myself in literature allows me to escape into worlds where I could become someone graceful, witty, and popular.

Currently, I work for a small biotech company and have published 120+ scientific books and papers. As a latecomer to the world of creative writing, I’ve released several books under different pen names. Fiction titles were published under R. F. Whong, while non-fiction books were published under Ruth Wuwong. I’m delighted to share that I've been named a 2025 Featured Author by the Minnes

While Lily didn’t get it, I did and went to Hong Kong to marry my husband.

Throughout our marriage, I often wonder. If God hadn’t intervened, what would have happened? “Someday, I’m going to write a book in which the heroine didn’t get her visa to Hong Kong.”

That was how Love at the Garden Tomb came into being.

Why should readers pick up this book? I'll let two reviews (on Amazon) answer the question.

"This book kept me interested from page one. Lily and Josh thought they'd lost their chance to be together but fate (or the hand of God) gave them a second chance. Interesting plot, great description of a fabulous location. Read this book for a faith filled and satisfying love story with a happily ever after. RF Whong tells a great story."

"I was transported into a world that I knew very little about. I enjoyed learning more about Asian culture and devout Christianity. I found this novel both insightful as well as entertaining. The hurdles our MCs had to overcome crossed cultural barriers and reminded the reader that love can be "meant to be" even if it can be challenging to cross the finish line."(less)
