BOOK On submission:

BUT FIRST…TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES

(A guide to surviving aliens and hypercritical mothers)

Surviving an alien invasion is hard. Surviving it alongside the hypercritical Vietnamese mother who disowned you for daring to follow your own path—well, that’s harder.

What beta readers and industry professionals are saying:

“COMPLEX, INTRICATE MOTHER-DAUGHTER DYNAMICS, WHIP-SMART HUMOR, [AND A] HOOK-Y APOCALYPTIC PLOT.”

“THIS IS THE MOST INVESTED I’VE BEEN IN A BOOK IN AWHILE, AND IT’S NOT EVEN SMUTTY. THAT’S, LIKE, INCREDIBLE.”

“…a blast. I had to remind myself I was supposed to be beta reading because I was having so much fun.”

“The depiction of diaspora life is lovingly detailed and rich with feeling.”
