About the author
Apple An
9 books10 followersApple An is an award-winning author, professor, and cultural memoirist whose writing bridges the lived and the remembered. With a career spanning over three decades at Syracuse University, she has published more than 200 scholarly articles and three academic books, earning 16,500+ citations and 24 honors for her contributions to research, teaching, and service. Her work as a founding editor-in-chief and historian for major academic associations reflects a lifelong commitment to intellectual rigor.
But it is in creative storytelling that Apple found her deeper calling. Since 2017, she has written, under her pen name, Apple An, memoirs, short stories, and historical novels that illuminate untold perspectives of Chinese people.
Her debut book, Las Crosses: An Unwavering Journey to a New Life in America, was named a finalist in several national book awards and became a category bestseller on Amazon.
Her 2024 historical novel, Mother of Red Mountains: A Novel of a Woman's Journey Through Revolutionary China, marks a new milestone. Based on real lives and events, the novel has won multiple national and international awards across categories, including Multicultural Fiction, Family Saga, and Women’s Historical Fiction.
Her 2025 historical novel, Daughter of Blue City: A Novel of Coming-of-Age Through Revolutionary China, continues the lives of the main characters in Mother of Red Mountains but is also a standalone book. It achieved the #1 New Release position on Amazon in Historical Chinese Fiction.
Apple also created the All-in-One Dotted Journal Notebook, a self-help tool for intentional living, and co-edits the Voices Heard Anthology Series to amplify the voices of emerging and underrepresented authors.
Apple is the mother and guardian of five children who became successful adults. She lives in Baldwinsville, New York. A lifelong learner and creative soul, she enjoys tennis, ballroom dancing, gardening, travel, and the arts. Her mission is to preserve cultural memory, foster human connection, and tell stories that linger long after the last page.
