I’m so excited to reveal the preorder campaign for The Dark Becomes Her! Please follow the link to find out more info so you can take a look at the art for the page overlays.

It’s also very important to me for this book to support local initiatives in Vancouver’s Chinatown for the community, and I’ve chosen to collaborate with Chinatown Together, where $1 of every preorder will be donated to run intergenerational gatherings and cultural events in Chinatown.

So thrilled to share that Song of the Six Realms was a NYT, Indie and Publishers Weekly bestseller.

I’m thankful for all of the booksellers, librarians and influencers who have supported my book. Also thank you to my fabulous readers. Whether Song of the Six Realms is the first book of mine that you’ve picked up or if you are here because of the Book of Tea duology, I hope you love Xue’s story!
