Alice is the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Shanghai Immortal, the first in a trilogy following the shenanigans of charmingly profane, irreverent, sometimes petulant but always entertaining half hulijing fox spirit Lady Jing.
She’s lived in Calgary, Taipei, Paris, Stockholm, Beijing, London, and Hong Kong, giving her the unique experience of being a minority in Canada and the UK, one kind of foreigner in Taiwan, China and Hong Kong SAR, and another kind in France and Sweden, as well as an expat in England. Belonging nowhere and everywhere, depending on her mood and mindset, she’s fascinated by the interplay between self-perceived versus imposed identity and how this intersects with belonging and enjoys exploring these spaces in her stories.
Alice lives in London with her geo-historian hubby, chatterbox daughter and sweet rescue pup. She’s grateful for the support of the Canada Council for the Arts. Find her online at aychao.com and @ay_chao on Instagram.
