Happy Lunar New Year! May the year of the Dragon bring you peace, luck, and a 龙 happy life! The red and pink camellias are blooming in my small garden, and it was lovely to see them after a week of storms in California.

On a separate note, my NPR interview with Scott Simon on Weekend Edition aired this morning. I am a huge NPR fan, and was a bit starstruck (and gobsmacked!) to be a guest. Thank you so much for having me, NPR! It was an honour and a pleasure.

Loved the interview. Thank you. Must absolutely read the novel. Congratulations on the red and pink camelias in your garden. Here’s wishing you an awesomely blessed leap year of the Wood Dragon!

Your interview on NPR was excellent! I have read both your earlier novels, and it is a pleasure to hear you in person. ”The Ghost Bride” I found compelling but perplexing, so reading “The Night Tiger” helped me grasp something of the interplay between contemporary English-language fiction and the parallel universe of Chinese mythology. Your creative integration became even more clear in the interview! Thanks for expanding my awareness. I look forward to reading “The Fox Wife.”

I am rushing out to buy your book! I’m from New Mexico, where the mythical coyote is regarded as a similar kind of trickster. Your friend Mickal Strutin just told me about you. I hope to meet you some day. Happy Year of the Wood Dragon! Karin Evans. Author of “The Lost Daughters of China”.
