HELLO I'M DOING MY FIRST EVER BOOK EVENT IN MY HOME COUNTRY 😱🥹 Am I going to talk abt how Haw Par Villa traumatized me as a kid & years later I wrote Darker By Four as a weird love letter to it? Yes I am! Join me @ Book Bar on May 24th if you're in SG!

She emailed months later to check up on manuscript's status & offered rep a few months after that ☺️
