JiaBook Reviews / C ReviewsAsian hero / Asian heroine / China / Cindy Pon / Fantasy Romance / POC / POC author / redemption / reincarnation / Young-Adult7 Comments

Dear Ms. Pon, I read your debut, Silver Phoenix, when it was first released and enjoyed it. Like Jane, I’m a big fan of multicultural stories and it was wonderful to see a YA fantasy featuring a setting based on ancient China. So I’ve been looking forward to your follow-up ... more >

JennieA- Reviews19th century / dysfunctional family / Historical Romances / Meredith Duran / redemption / revenge-plot / scholar16 Comments

Dear Ms. Duran, I was a big fan of your debut The Duke of Shadows, published last year. I can’t say how excited I was to learn that you had not one but two books scheduled for release in 2009, one in June and the other in July. Having now ... more >
