Kat Cho used to hide books under the bathroom sink and then sneak in there to read after bedtime. Her parents pretended not to know. This was helpful when she decided to write a dinosaur time-travel novel at the tender age of nine. Sadly, that book was not published. She currently lives in New York City and spends her free time trying to figure out what kind of puppy to adopt. Kat is the New York Times and international bestselling author of the Gumiho duology, Once Upon a K-Prom, and Gods & Comics.

Michele had the opportunity to interview Kat, which you can read on the Geeks OUT blog.

A.Y. Chao 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. Find her online on Instagram.

Michele had the opportunity to interview A.Y Chao, which you can read on the Geeks OUT blog.
