I’m pleased as punch to announce that my new short story collection China Girl and Other Stories has been selected as a finalist in the “Fiction: Short Story” category of the 2017 Best Book Awards. Thanks to all those who have supported me in this literary adventure thus far — I look forward to reporting on more news and events in the months ahead!

I was recently invited to provide a guest blog for Long and Short Reviews on what “China Girl,” and China, mean to me. The full blog post is available on the Long and Short Reviews website.
