I absolutely love all of your books! Thank you for so many wonderful and fascinating stories! I am very much looking forward to reading The Tea Girl on Hummingbird Lane. ~Are there certain characters that you would love to develop for any future novels? Are there any specific themes/ideas about China, Chinese history, Chinese Culture & Customs that you would love to work with and write about in the future?

It's taken me four months to see this? Oh, no! I'm so sorry! The main reason, though, is that I've been finishing The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane. How did you hear about it, I wonder.
I really love your questions. So thoughtful! I always start with character and theme. What is the relationship I want to write about? What's the main emotion I want to write about? That seems to change depending on where I am in my life.

Hi Lisa. Ever since I read "Snowflower and the Secret Fan" you have been my favorite author. I live in NYC and I keep checking to see if you will be giving any talks here, or any book signings or any appearances. I'd love to attend! Do you every plan on making any appearances on the east coast, esp NYC?

Hi Lisa See!! I'm just about to start Lady Tan's Circle of Women and am fascinated by how you were able to discover the protagonist's story! Is there a specific way that you like to find these characters? Or do you wait for the characters to become apparent to you through other works? Thank you so much!!
