I am the granddaughter of a Chinese restaurateur who challenged racist and sexist laws in 1920s Canada. His story was celebrated by a Government of Canada Lost Stories art and film project for Canada’s 150th anniversary. Coinciding with this, a story I wrote about my artist father appeared in Chicken Soup for the Soul: the Spirit of Canada.\n\nI have written an archaeology thriller series called the Raven Chronicles and a Chinese Epic Fantasy called The Pirate Empress.\n\nI have always loved romantic suspense of which Mary Stewart was my favorite author growing up. I have written several thriller and fantasy novels, all with an interwoven love story between the action and suspense. I also write a Christmas romance series under the pen name of Daphne Lynn Stewart. I live with my husband in Hamilton Ontario.\n
