Immensely grateful to be a daughter of Singapore

It may be unfashionable but I’m shouting it out anyway – It’s good being a daughter of Singapore. It’s something to be immensely grateful for. I had flown from the Little Red Dot to the North Eastern USA for a wedding and then a book reading in Virginia. Unexpectedly, my country offered me a launch in their Washington DC embassy, the first of my book promotion events in the USA.

When the intangible becomes real

This post is about everyone who helped make my intangible real – everyone who supported me. After years and multiple revisions my novel is going to print Monday with a “real cover”, and a “real” set of acknowledgements- All I can say is: Our writer’s dreams become reality only with the support of other writers.

Does your writing transcend culture?

I thought I was a global person but it turns out I’m not … My novel As the Heart Bones Break is making its debut globally at Singapore Writer’s Festival in November. Well, almost globally.
