"I just signed a contract for my next book - my tenth, and my fourth title with Potomac Books (University of Nebraska Press).

Set in the city of Harbin in 1933, it explores a murder committed amidst the chaos that reigned in northeast China in the run-up to the Second World War...
...The Cultural Revolution Cookbook,which Sasha Gong and I wrote in 2011, is now available in a Tenth Anniversary Edition!

I'm proud to announce that the work has been published in Shanghai under the title Zouchu Diguo: Wang Qingfu de Gushi (走出帝国-王清福的故事).
