In between hanging out with triad members and living in one haunted flat after another in Hong Kong, I've also been the paid companion of the third wife of a tycoon, toured the world with musicians, and apprenticed as a goldsmith in Italy. I also got lost on the Great Wall for eight hours and saw a goat. If you like strange adventures, bad decisions, and lots of fun, subscribe to my mailing list to get a preview of my Ming dynasty X-Files novella and plenty of other exclusives!
