About the author

Formerly a reporter with the Hong Kong Standard, then freelancer for publications such as Style Magazine, Singapore Straits Times' New Paper, and the South China Morning Post, Hope Barrett moved to the west coast of Canada, where she took up the mantle of publisher for five years with the comic anthology OH... The downturn in the comic industry in the mid 90s ensured that such megalomania was punished with a dose of penury.

What the author did with the next decade of her life is now forming a part of North Door 37 Publishing's collection. Unless, of course, it is a murder mystery. Then we're talking fiction.
