Until my book comes out (and maybe afterward too), I’m writing weekly(ish) about the process of writing and the things I personally value in stories. This week: DREAD open.substack.com/pub/ambelsey...

I wasn’t ignoring you last week; I was in Hong Kong. HK is a lot like if New York and London used a Chinese surrogate to have a baby. I loved it.

THE GRIEVING EYE tells the story of a girl whose life is upended by death: the death of a parent, the death of her country, the death of the only life she knew. It’s a story that is as relevant today as it was when Lena lived through it.
