About Me

My photo
Alice Poon
Canada
Born and raised in Hong Kong, Alice Poon received a fully bilingual (English and Chinese) education and also learned French in her youth. Since the release of her two historical Chinese novels: The Green Phoenix and Tales of Ming Courtesans, nostalgia for the magical world of wuxia fiction, which she grew up with, has spurred her desire to write in the Chinese fantasy genre. With the passing of the wuxia fiction icon Jin Yong in 2018, she has felt an urge to help to preserve his legacy and to promote this unique genre of Chinese folk literature to a wider global audience. Overall, inspiration for her fiction writing comes from Jin Yong’s wuxia novels, the wuxia/xianxia media, and French and Russian realist classics. She lives in Greater Vancouver, Canada and wishes to indulge herself in putting her imagination on the page.
