I first came across Weina Dai Randel on a Yahoo group of authors who write novels set in Asia. She always seemed upbeat and enthusiastic to share her knowledge of publishing. We bonded later when she signed a two-book deal with Sourcebooks, the same house that published Good Chinese Wife.

Weina’s two forthcoming novels tell the story of Empress Wu, the first female ruler in China. The Moon in the Palace comes out in March of 2016 and is available for pre-ordering here. To add it to Goodreads, click here. The sequel, The Empress of Bright Moon, comes out in April of 2016. I can’t wait to read both and will review them on this blog closer to their publication dates.
