    Glad to see you like Qiu, he's one of my favorites also. I'll probably set the fourth book in my series in Shanghai, I just hope I can do it justice.

    Good blog, good logo, good choice of movies. And from LA? My kind of town (See THE BIG SWITCH, THE DEAL KILLER, and SHADOW OF THE DAHLIA.)

    Hi Ana: I'll check out your blog as soon as I get a chance. You say you are a designer. Fashion? Graphic? Other? I write mystery and suspense novels.

    Furniture design sounds like an interesting and personally rewarding endeavor. If you do read my work, please let me know what you think, either on here or through my website.

    Hi Ana,
    Thanks for the read and the review. I like honest reviews, they're more interesting and useful than the other sort. Unfortunately a whole lot of what was described in the book is pretty commonplace (and accurately described) in the expatriate - and non-expat also - communities of Asia - maybe in other places too, but I'm familiar with Asia. The commodification of women pervades a lot of the societies there and enables some of the really horrific stuff that goes on. I tried to give my readers a sense of that.
    In the new book, Grave Imports, Ray is so freaked out by what went on in Living Room, that things are somewhat different.
    Best,
    Eric
