I first learned about Zen Cho when Amazon (always the faithful recommender of things to read! – lol) suggested I might like Black Water Sister. Well, Amazon isn’t the king because they get things wrong. Indeed, I found the cover art for her novel to be extremely attractive and, once I’d read it, loved Black Water Sister. So much so, in fact, that I immediately asked Zen Cho, via her literary agent, to come on the show.

I’m so grateful we got to chat. I think you’ll enjoy it a lot as well. Zen and I talked about writing about different ethnic backgrounds without being cliche, how worldbuilding works when writing in a contemporary setting, and how she mixed different religious backgrounds into her story, among other things.
