Thank you Colson! My debut, THE ORIGINAL DAUGHTER, follows two sisters growing up in the rapidly modernizing Singapore, their inseparable relationship becoming violently estranged when one plagiarizes the other's life to achieve fame and fortune. Out May 6!

My novel BIG CHIEF is one of Goodreads Hottest, yes, Hottest Debut Novels of 2025! Some serious names here including HOMESEEKING by @karissachen.bsky.social and THE ORIGINAL DAUGHTER BY @jemmawei.bsky.social
www.goodreads.com/blog/show/28...
Wrote about them here. "Driverless cars are often called autonomous vehicles – but driving isn’t an autonomous activity. It’s a co-operative social activity, in which part of the job of whoever’s behind the wheel is to communicate with others on the road." www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
