Hi Julie,
Haha! How wonderful to hear that you've traveled in Malaysia and enjoyed the food!! In fact, while editing The Ghost Bride, I had to remove several scenes of banquets and food being eaten because the book was getting too long... The new book definitely has lots of food in it, some of it specific to Ipoh and Perak (where it's set). Thank you so much for reading - I will post on my author FB page https://www.facebook.com/yschooauthor/ when I have further updates on my new novel! :)
Best wishes,
Yangsze

I absolutely loved reading Ghost Bride. The setting of colonial-era Malaysia was utterly captivating. I’m from the region myself. The colonial times can be, well, emotionally stirring, but you have done something truly unique with this one. I really hope you write a sequel to the novel. Until then, can you perhaps recommend fans other books like Ghost Bride, in the sense of the setting and the mythology?
