My novel is not merely a gateway to the imagined lives of diverse characters; it is a journey into the vision of an expatriate’s Hong Kong. My knowledge of the city—garnered from a significant tenure as a banking executive in the Colony—breathes, I hope, authenticity into the scenes of my work. It has helped paint a picture of the city’s British colonial era, transporting readers to a time of both turmoil and exhilaration.
I am currently spinning new tales set in south China and Hong Kong. A coming prequel focusses on the tumultuous era of World War II and existential colonial issues stemming from that time, as well as a Chinese historical event related to the mysterious monastery which the Dragon supports. A coming sequel, with previous as well as new characters, pursues a new take on the world surrounding the Dragon. My books in process promise a fusion of rich historical detail and solid storytelling, set against the dynamic backdrop of one of the world’s most interesting cities.
