Shenwei interviewed me last week for Taiwanese American Heritage Week! This is the first time someone has asked me about what went into creating the Cylian language on the page, a process which I was all too happy to nerd out about.

Illustrated graphic with an excerpt from the Booklist review of LU AND REN'S GUIDE TO GEOZOOLOGY. The excerpt reads: "Migrating guinea pig mountains, island-size axolotls, and floating bands of cloudlike jellyfish are just a few of the delightfully imaginative geozoological phenomena in Hsieh’s clever debut graphic novel... This smart, grounded, and gentle fantasy is a quiet standout."

I did an interview with @bookfairepod.bsky.social about my GEOZOOLOGY! True to form, I go off on a tangent about mouthbrooding Darwin’s frogs before we hit the 10 minute mark. 🐸
