Chinese Puzzle Box

Explorations in and about China

Thanks to all who followed “Fox Spirit”

The story of Sara and Storm has come to a close. If “Fox Spirit” had gone viral, I had a sort-of-sequel in mind, but as its group of loyal fans was small I will leave that box closed, and your imaginations can have free play.

Some acknowledgements are appropriate:

Thanks to Chen Li Qiang, whose poetry partly inspired and partly guided me as the story evolved in real time.

Thanks to my friend and teacher Tang Tao whose instruction and encouragement enriched my understanding of Chinese culture and the barriers which would separate my two protagonists.

Thanks to my writing group – Radhika, Claire, Rosemary, Monica, and Richard, whose suggestions and questions helped make this first novel a lot better than it might have been.

And thanks to those whose comments as I put out segments of “Fox Spirit” fortified my resolve to put the whole story out there. 

(If you came to the story late and want to begin at the beginning – check my February 2023 archive and move forward in time from there.)

Best to all in 2024!
