The Glass Empire trilogy
The first three novellas written in Chinese. Characters move around the stories like a community in varying importance. They represent my experiences and perspectives at that time. Fast-paced, dramatic and heavily influenced by Asian music and drama works.
The Glass Ship 玻璃船
A young CEO of a prominent bank was given a glass ship artifact that contains a secret will for a half brother that he never knew existed. The will unleashed a race and battle for control of the will. What other secrets will emerge from it?
The Glass Phoenix 玻璃凰
Two restaurants battle at court over the authenticity of their supposedly Qing-dynasty recipe - The Glass Phoenix. What is history? This was written to commemorate a PhD opportunity which I had to turn down.
The Glass Key 玻璃钥匙
A lady looking for a Glass Key to a home for her and the destined one through six relationships. Will she find her Glass Key int he end?
The Glass Circle
My first novella written in English, which eventually became my submitting dissertation for the Masters of Creative Writing and Wellbeing programme I undertook with Teesside University.
The story navigates how the characters of my first three novellas were facing apocalyptic developments in their world because of my writer's block. This version is the original full version, was later scaled down for the dissertation which can be downloaded in the Masters of Creative Writing works.
